Same trip, but with Harriet Lake.
Marnie,

If you are comfy with class 2 crosscountry use the short cut over the ridge north of Isberg Peak, it will cut down considerably on your mileage, allows you to avoid the boring trail and to see the beautiful lakes south of Harriet Lake. The meadow located in the upper part of Foerster Creek is worth seeing too, though I doubt the wildflower extravaganza from 2-3 weeks ago still exist, if there are no gardens of wildflowers around Harriet and the lower lakes then they will gone from the meadow.
Thanks Maverick. Headed out tomorrow and just saw your note.
