Gorgeous trail, started at 8am to beat the crowds to no avail. Extremely packed up to the junction of eagle and Velma trails. If you want to get Covid, head out there. Tons of people, no social distancing and barely anyone wearing masks. Mosquitos were out of control once you hit Eagle Lake. Recommend doing the loop and descending at Bayview through Granite Lake. Less people and as beautiful descent.
I have used this trail for many years to access Desolation Wilderness, and I would not consider it a moderate trail. It is a steep uphill grade.
Did this trail back in the beginning of November but I did it all the way to Middle Velma Lakes and Dicks lake then back up to the bayview junction and took the longer more scenic way down via the bayview trail. When you get to Velma lakes they are all diffrent but the best and largest is Middle Velma its clear with alot of small islands in it! Great trail and experience beautiful view of Emerald Bay, Cascade lake, Granite lake and Lake Tahoe on the way down! Still one of my top trails to do again in early Summer.
