RangerBackpackers delight at 4th Recess Lake
At just above 10,000 feet, 4th Recess Lake is quite a climb to get to. The rewards for tackling the ardous hike is the crisp mountain air, the icy cold water (even in the hottest summer), and the glorious night sky above.
This is a dispersed backpackers camping area, pack everything in and pack everything out.
One of the awesome sights is the 'Alpine Glow' on the mountains as the sun sets, a sheer orange bathing the rocky slopes.
