Itinerary description

I didn’t like Grinnell Lake very much. The trail is easy and kind of boring under the trees without any views.
I highly recommend instead doing just the loop around the Josephine lake, west side first, coming back to the parking lot via the east side of the lake. The views of the surrounding mountains in the west side are amazing.
