Emerald Lake

 After Dream Lake, you hike further to the foot of the mountains to Emerald Lake. The water, again, is so clear you just want to jump in and swim. The water is icy cold because it's coming from melting snow.
Altogether the hike is 3.6 miles with about 450 mile elevation gain. I checked my elevation app and was surprised to find that Emerald Lake sits at 10,000 feet. I think we've been here long enough that the altitude didn't bother any of us.
A hike well worth it!!
