I went to Lake Ediza at the end of July with a couple of friends. There was a lot of smoke from the fire in Yosemite, but despite the air quality, it was still a great trip. Crowded place…proximity to JMT?….anyway, It was way more people than I like seeing on the trail, but I managed. Didn't bring my camera but did get some pano snaps with my phone.
Backdrop to Ediza at sunrise

Day hike to Iceberg and Cecile Lakes

Thought Iceberg Lake was fish-less, but caught a 18" lunker of a brookie. The smoke was pretty bad up here and at Cecile.

Heading back to Ediza

Pano looking down at Ediza

Solo hike off trail in a very active area for wildlife. Didn't stay long, too many beady eyes on me.

Goodbye Ediza! Hope to see you with some snow soon.
