Upper Lamarck Lake is the cherry on top at the end of the hike. The lake has a turquoise color, sitting on a glacier carved granite bench, with a big wall of granite around it and Lamarck Peak seen in the background. From there you will have gorgeous views of Lower Lamarck Lake and the valley beneath.
