Virginia Lakes Trail

This is a steep, well-maintained trail that passes a number of alpine lakes. However, there are many unmarked side trails, and I got lost quite a few times. There is an historic cabin on the way. The trail continues past where I stopped on to Summit Pass, more lakes, and hooks up with more trails to form loops for backpackers.

I got a little lost several times. At the end of the trail, I bushwhacked over this ridge (midground) to get back to my car and the parking lot.
