The only bear I saw when I was up there was up towards Grizzly Lakes
in a small meadow.

We saw bear scat all the way from the trailhead to Volcanic Lakes! And we saw piles and piles. We have heard Cedar Grove has been having lots of bears coming down due to the dry summer. Makes no sense to me really as there is still food up high, just someone's guesses I think. Regardless, I saw probably 30-40 piles of scat in that small stretch alone!Hi Dee, I'm interested in where all the bear activity took place.
Hm, last volcanic lake...north or south? We went to the last southern lake but only the 2nd to the last heading north. I'll be back to check for that one...Did you get down to the last lake in the Volcanic chain with the cool glacier right behind it? Its quite a sight.
Amazing!
I've always thought about that area above Road's End but never seriously thought about it.
Yep, me too. But, nevertheless, this one will stay in mind!:)*I couldn't guess, though, because I tend to have a new 'favorite spot' every time I do another trip.
I've hiked into the Monarch Divide area...well, let's count how many times:If Tom hadn't said something about how nice it was I might never have done that one either. Looks not that spectacular on the maps and it certainly is not in the heart of the rest of the parks peaks...

No scenery, no mountains, dirty lakes, very little solitude, so please
do yourself a favor and dont waste your time or energy going to this part of the park it has nothing to offer, go do the Rae Lakes Loop or climb Whitney!!!
