Mills Lake Lake Haiyaha loop hike


August 23 - Mills Lake / Lake Haiyaha - 6.5 miles - 2000 ft elevation gain


Another nice hike with views of glacier gourge from Mills and then Otis and Hallett from Haiyaha


Starting out 


Trying to see how much elevation we would have to put in to bag Lake Haiyaha.  On the map it didn't look like much, but  on the trail it felt like a lot.

This guy doesn't know anything!
