Indian Creek #1502, Airplane Lake

Risking mid-September alpine weather we decided a trip to Airplane Lake was long over due. Starting from the White River TH follow The Indian Creek trail North for about 2.2 miles to a footbridge and turn left. Follow excellent trail for another 2.25 miles, el. 3151'. As stated in the previous posts stop at the FIRST campsite on the left with a small fire ring. GPS waypoint 47 59.406N 120 59.850W. A small tree has been carved and scratched. The trail starts DIRECTLY across from this tree. Dots and blazes are visible after about 100 ft. Painted dots and blazes will take you to the lake. Once at the lake skip the first campsite and continue to the North side to a much better site. Got some rain and snow. No bugs. Great fishing. Side trip up Mt. Saul was cut short at 6200' due to snow. It was harder to stay on the trail on the way down so really watch for the dots and blazes. This is a very steep trail gaining about 2200' in less than a mile, but it's worth the effort!
