This hike is not for the faint of heart. It pretty much goes straight up a mountain very few switchbacks. Probably one of the steepest hikes I’ve ever done but the pain is worth the reward at the end. A crystal clear lake with trout jumping. We had the whole lake to ourselves. This is a seldom used trail. There are many wind falls to take care of. It took 3 hours to reach the top but we took our time. We went mid July and the temp of the lake was perfect for swimming. We did not see any camping spots at this lake but there are two other lakes in the upper valley and it’s fairly flat.
