Follow Smithbrook Trail
to Pacific Crest Trail for 0.9 mile. Smithbrook Trail ends at T
junction with Pacific Crest Trail. Look for signs indicating directions
to Lake Valhalla (south)
and Janus Lake (north). Turn right (north) onto PCT. It descends
on the open slope for about one mile. In some parts the trail is
rocky and rough. Then it evens up and after crossing a creek the
trail enters the woods reaches Janus Lake |
