| The
trail climbs gradually in switchbacks along the creek through the
old forest and open rocky slopes leading to the lake. The lake is
beautiful with open shores and possible good fishing. An impressive
cirque carved with numerous waterfalls rises high over the south side
of the lake. Overnight camping and campfires are not permitted. This
area is very popular and used all year round. The lake can be crowded
during summer weekends. |
