Just finished a beautiful weekend camping here with friends. If you’re coming from 86 the hike up to the pond is pretty steep (and feels intense if you’re carrying gear) but the pond itself is 100% worthwhile. We spent three nights camping at one of the tent sites and despite it being a weekend, we didn’t feel disturbed by the other hikers passing along the trail. The water was cool and clear, and the stars at night were not to be missed!
