Please check local regulations for: Alpine Lakes Wilderness
This is a particularly good spot for views of majestic McLellan Peak, on the far side of the water.
These lakes used to be a popular place for people to basecamp within day-hiking distance of the Enchantments, if you didn't get a permit to camp within the Enchantments. But now you need an overnight permit here, too, if you plan to camp between May 15 and October 31. More information here: fs.usda.gov/detail/okawen/specialplaces/?cid=fsbdev3_053607
