DSCF0874.jpg6 viewsTwenty minutes below the outlet of Imogene Lake, I arrive at the unnamed lake at 8260'. This is the same lake I arrived at in the dark last night about midnight on my way back to camp after climbing Cramer. It looks better in the daylight! Those who climb Cramer from the trailhead usually begin the cross country trek west toward the summit in the vicinity of this lake. I need to pick up my pace, as it will be dark again in less than two hours.
