We hiked the Meysan Lakes Trail and were blown away by the views, easily on par with what you’ll see at Glacier, Mt. Shasta, or Mt. Rainier. One thing to note: the mosquitoes get intense the higher you go. The first few miles were clear, but after that they were as bad as anything we’ve seen at Crater Lake. We weren’t prepared for it, had to set up base camp quickly, and ended up turning back the next day. Definitely worth doing, but bring serious bug protection if you're heading up. The third picture is to show how bad the mosquitos were.
