Barclay Lake

This is a great little day hike. The trail is easy to navagate, and the terrain is gentle some minor hills. The lake at the end is beautiful, and there is a great view of the peak above and surrounding mountains.

The parking lot was packed and overflowing when we arrived mid day. We saw a half dozen groups on our way into the lake. The lake was secluded and there were only two groups there for the half hour we stayed. One of them was camping there the other group were day hikers like us.

The hike was mostly forrested. It crossed a couple minor stream and one major one. There were several nice rest spots along the way as well as several small meadows. There were both sun and shade available at the lake.

This is a great hike.
