Rachel Lake - July 2000

Kristin and I went for a one-night backpacking trip to Rachel Lake with Sara and Burke Harris. They were a lot of fun and showed us how to make some yummy Yakisoba for dinner. It was a very hot and busy weekend up at Rachel Lake. Lots and lots of people. We found a nice campsite overlooking Box Canyon Creek valley and out towards Hi-Box Mountain. On the other side we could see Rachel Lake. It was an incredibly beautiful place. The last mile of trail is really nasty, so if you go, make sure you save some energy for that last push to the lake. I would even suggest going a mile further to the Rampart Lakes basin. Less people and a better alpine setting.
