Judging by the number of reports posted on WTA, this place gets crazily busy during summer months. In our previous visit I learned that no one really visits this place when it’s cold and windy, but that’s good news for us solitude seekers.
We made a loop out of this hike by visiting Dusty Lake first, then went over the coulee divide to get to Ancient Lakes and hiked out from there. There wasn’t a single soul in the coulee except us.
