Re: Cathedral Lakes

I was planning on doing a day hike off Tioga road on July 1st, and the Cathedral lakes sound like a scenic destination. Anyone know if they'll be thawed out by then?

No way.

I presume you looked at this:

and therefore these:

A small portion of each lake is unfrozen... (i.e. the outlet).

Upper had a very very thick laya on it still. I could show some more photos of the lakes if you like...

I find the a frozen lakes to still be very pretty.
Although the boat doesn't work very well in them...

I like them better when partially frozen. That way they don't just look like more snow.

I did see your earlier post and was hoping the hot weather we've been getting lately would be enough to thaw them out, but I guess it takes awhile to melt the whole enchilada. I'll probably check em out anyways. Thanks for the reply.

Look at the bright side... there won't be any mosquitos up there...
