At the first Dinkey Lakes we basked in the sunshine and admired the wildflowers in bloom.
By the time we reached Island Lake it was very dark to the east and thunder was getting louder and more frequent, the sun overhead was blocked by clouds and it was cold and windy. No lightening in sight but maybe time to eat lunch down at one of the lower lakes.
Looking west from Island Lake the blue sky was still visible so there was still hope...
Fifteen minutes later down at Upper Dinkey Lake the raindrops are visible on the lake. Intermittent sprinkles followed us all the way to the trailhead. The two young boys in the family we met about 20 minutes from the trailhead as they were hiking up didn't look too happy. We thought they might get more unhappy as their day progressed. The clouds and thunder were continuing to intensify up the trail where they were headed.
