For our final trip to the Cloud Peak wilderness, we chose Lake Angeline, just over the divide from the Hidden Twin Lakes (see our post from 2 weeks ago). The approach from the East involves a brutal drive just to get to the trailhead, followed by a 5.5 mile slog through post-fire regenerating ponderosa pine up from 8200 to 10,500 feet. But in the end, a night of meteor showers and a glorious sunrise over the lake and its remnant glacier made it all worthwhile.
