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.
