About This Trail
The trail rises over 1000 feet in a 3.5 mile hike. The trail is high in elevation, so thinner air is creating tired people, and may cause them tire quicker and more quickly. It took a lot of work to get the view when the the arrived. A cathedral peak rises over a lake. A meadow filled with wildflowers adds color to the landscape. It is a good place to be. To be sure, it is essential to register early if you plan to stay the night. Wilderness permits are needed to stay overnight on the lakes.
