If you get there around 4 5 PM in October you’ll still catch the sunset from the viewpoint it usually starts around 7 PM and the light is golden over the lake. In late spring, say May or June, the lake is still clear but the trek can be a bit muddy, whereas in late autumn the trails are drier and the alpine scenery is more vivid. If you prefer a quieter walk and easier footing, a mid autumn arrival is best. After the lake you could head back to a nearby place like Lidder View Resorts for a relaxed evening.
