Refreshing
There's not much better than swimming in these alpine lakes as far as I'm concerned. As long as the sun was shining, it wasn't too cold. Besides, the excitement and realization of the beauty that abounds is enough to keep you warm, at least mentally.
I have a fortunate track record of getting to swim in alpine lakes in the Wallowas. I've made three separate visits, and have swam in three different lakes. Pine Lake and Dollar Lake being the other two.
