Beautiful trail well maintained. Several steep uphills that were challenging with heavy load. Bugs during the day were annoying! 2.5mi

The first of Watson Lakes that you approach is nice continue along to the 2nd for better views. The walk back up the trail can be strenuous for some. 5mi

Amazing initial view of the two Watson Lakes, only bettered by being lakeside and swimming in Watson 2. Will do this hike again & again.
