About This Trail

Imported description

There is a trail called Trail 1064 that goes up to the Alpine lakes. A few old growth gems are hidden in plain sight off the trail halfway to the first bridge, at least 10ft diameter. You will be able to get to the southeast side of Malachite Peak after you pass the first bridge. There are a lot of times when the foliage opens up for a panoramic view of the valley from Silver Eagle peak to the amazing 400ft waterfall.
