Mt. Tallac Staircase

We decided to hike Mt. Tallac a couple weekends ago to see what it was like without the snow. We hiked it in June and didn't get too much further than Floating Island Lake. This time the floating island at Floating Island Lake was under water and we hiked beyond Cathedral Lake. The views are stunning and the hike on up to the top is steep and uphill almost all the way - I like a few more plateaus :) This is a neat rock staircase just past Cathedral Lake. We didn't go too much further than this, need to get in better shape. We heard getting to the top is worth the hike and I can imagine it is. Maybe someday.
