The plan was to camp at Castle Lake, but we arrived here at 6:37 pm. We wanted to cook trout caught at Noisy Lake earlier in the day, and the plentiful supply of firewood, convenient benches and fire ring made this site very attractive that late in the day. Fires are not allowed at Castle Lake. Water was a short distance down the trail. It had been a cold, clear night, and the sun hit the cabin very early, making it a great place to get up early and enjoy the view.
