As our final hike in the Desolation Wilderness this year, we decided to dayhike to see both Eagle Falls and Eagle Lake, on a popular trail just to the west of Lake Tahoe.  It was a bit touristy, but we enjoyed it just the same.

We backpacked for two nights along the Twin Lakes Trail, on the western side of the Desolation Wilderness, spending one day hiking to Twin Lakes, then a lazy day walking around the high glaciated granite basin below the Crystal Range while checking out Island Lake and fishing for Brook Trout, and a final day heading cross-country to visit the Enchanted Pool.
