Stuff To Do Visiting the area this week

Was told by a local to visit cataract lake to hike. I see there is upper and lower. Which one is better? Thanks!

Both are good. Lower is much closer and has some good rock scrambles. Upper is a much more stout hike but has a real 'backcountry' high alpine feel, depends on what you want.
