A relatively gentle but LONG hike to an amazing place. The 7 miles to Upper Turquoise Lake went quickly. The steep gully from the lake to the upper slopes wasn't too bad either. From the top of the gully to the summit was mostly gentle hiking in gassy meadows or on stable talus. There was even a bit of easy class 3 scrambling before the summit.
