    Great 3.8 mile hike round trip. We hiked through relatively flat trail, a few temporary creeks (until snow melts) and easy grade up. It was one of the few trails open in June, due to snow packs...

    Amazing spot, beautiful lake, stunning mountain peaks, waterfalls everywhere, wonderful stroll through the woods, a completely fulfilling interaction with Mother Nature
  • By Sarah Mong
    Beautiful hike to the lake via Cutthroat trail. The trail is easy, not too steep and very clearly marked. The terrain is a little uneven but as long as you have good shoes it shouldn’t be a problem. The lake is so beautiful it is well worth the 2 miles up and back. The water is crystal clear and it is completely unpopulated, no campgrounds or homes...just you and nature!
