Just absolutely gorgeous. A bit of snow the last .5 mile to the lake but totally worth it! (Just follow the footprints ;) ). Falls were RAGING. We had the lake to ourselves and didn’t see a soul for hours.
The hike up to the lake was a little difficult depending on your experience and well being mine being not so great but even a city dweller like myself and not in the best shape manage to push thru, I'm glad I did very much worth it the views were incredible.
Looked like a pretty lake with an amazing view from the Bluebird Lake trail! (The edible wild raspberries in the area were also nice to enjoy!)
This is a great hike! The first portion for Ouzel Falls is an easy to moderate 5.4 mile round trip. But I highly recommend doing the 9.8 mile roundtrip all the way up to Ouzel Lake. It is simply gorgeous!
If you can get Ouzel Falls in one hour, it hard to just stop there. There were still 3 feet tall snow on the trail after the intersection to bluebird on Memorial Day Weekend.
