Completed a counter-clockwise hike of the Lofty Lake Loop on the beautiful morning of July 3, 2017. Enjoyed the side-hike up to Lofty Peak (aka Cutthroat Peak) from saddle just SE of Lofty Lake, traversed across top of peak and descended to return to trail NW of Lofty Lake. Only noteworthy snow was found between Lofty Lake + Kamas Lake and was easily navigated around. Mosquitoes were abundant near the lakes and ponds.
