Lone Pine day 2: Meysan Lake (almost). We started a hike near Mt. Whitney following a poorly drawn map for Meysan lake around noon (after brunch, of course). Another couple on their return complained of the same map discrepancies and informed us of the conditions ahead: "We made it to the second of the three lakes, but there was too much snow and incline to make it up to Meysan." We continued up and after a few more miles realized we would likely run out of daylight before reaching the third lake and so our mantra became 'Just one lake.' We were not disappointed when we arrived, after 5 miles and 2800' feet gain, to enjoy the first lake to its fullest.
