The
first 0.3 mile leads to Dingford Creek crossing. Look for a log
a little way up the creek pass the campsites. After creek crossing
the trail gradually climbs for about 1.5 miles. This part of the
trail has several wash-outs and can be quite muddy. In order not
to lose the trail look for paint marks on the trees. For the next
0.4 miles the trail goes in steep switchbacks to the junction with
cross-country route to Mt. Price, that goes to the left. The trail
continues for another 0.3 mile, crosses the creek and leads to several
campsites near the lake. The lake is pretty big with steep, grown
with woods, shores  .
Cross
country route leads to Little Hester Lake
(1 mile / 500 feet). From the campsites ascend on the rocky slope
and make your way towards the northern side of the lake. Continue
along the northern side to the creek that floats from the Little
Hester Lake into Hester Lake. Ascend along the creek drainage to
Little Hester Lake. The lake is small and pretty. There is a campsite
on the south side of the lake.
