Great hike, went to Lower and Upper Lakes; enjoyed Lower lake better so if pressed for time go there IMO. Lots of mosquitoes in late June so bring repellent. Regardless this hike is totally worth it!

Leuke wandeling door bossen en over beekjes. Eerste stuk zwaar en stijl. Veel muggen vooral bij cath lakes. Van bossen naar meadows tot een schitterend meer!
