The hike up to Lawn Lake is steady uphill for most of the distance. Continuing on to Crystal Lake, the trail becomes more interesting, the views are amazing, and it's truly stunning to see Crystal Lake. Definitely worth the long hiking day! (or camp at Lawn Lake if you get a permit, then hike to Crystal Lake as a shorter day hike from there).
