Led by Craig Mastos, eighteen of us hiked the up-&-down trail to reach Lower Lola Montez where several swam in the cool water. Then we climbed the granite chute, traversing the white granite terrain up above, to get to Upper Lola Montez lake. Even more swim suits came out for an irresistible swim up there.
