This was quite a cozy little sleeping quarters for us. I think everyone that has ever shared a two man tent knows that they live more like a 1 1/2 man tent. Well......try sleeping three in there once.
The Boulder Creek Trail is very well marked. So much so that you cannot miss it. In fact, on this trip all trails are very well marked and you could easily get to Boulder Lake without a map or GPS
Boulder Lake (Lower) is a smallish lake that is a meadow type lake, rather than a mountain bowl lake. Beyond the lake but in front of the background mountains is Upper Boulder Lake. We did not go that far on this trip, but our information says it is about 2 miles further and around 1300 feet higher.
Fly fishing anyone? There is a nice crop of eight to ten inch brook trout in Bould Lake (Lower). I caught them on a black beauty because something black was hatching. However, there were many hikers at the lake and nearly every one of them brought a dog....som two dogs. This made the fly fishing pretty difficult.
