On our recent trip to Conness Lakes when we were photographing from the south side of the middle lake, I started thinking about going to the upper lake. I don't know if this is something that is within our capabilities. I have not been able to find out much about the route up there from the middle lake. Is there anyone here who can describe how you get up there? Maybe you could use this image as a reference:

We did see two hikers walking along the north shore and it looked easy, even at one point that looked steep from our viewpoint. They were headed down. I also found them in a photo I took a bit earlier in the rocky granite area above and to the right of the waterfall. I have no idea how they got down from there to the lake.
Our capabilities are hiking with a hint of class 2. I don't want to do talus climbing.
I also wonder what is the best way to get from the lower lake to north side of the middle lake. We didn't have time to wait to see how the hikers did it.
I'd appreciate any advice.
