We decided to head out to Desolation Wilderness this weekend. Although we’d checked out several trails from the Wright’s Lake area, we hadn’t been in to Gertrude Lake and chose to visit it. No one else was there on this cold and windy pre-winter weekend, so it was nice to have the lake all to ourselves. Temps got into the 20s overnight, and the wind was gusting pretty good – I was happy that we had a sheltered campsite!
