At 11,523 feet, Hartenstein Lake is tucked away at the edge of treeline in a basin between Turner Peak (13,233 feet) and Mount Yale (14,196 feet). It stays snowy up here late into spring some seasons, and you can always plan for water crossings and muddy bits of trail. The lake is much less visited than the peaks in the area and offers a real wilderness feel.

The trail approaching the lake is mostly runnable grades. The runnability of the trail really depends on how wet everything is.
