Trails Hiked

  • Wildflowers blooming
  • Ripe berries
At Dip Top Gap, looking at Pea Soup Lake and Mt Daniel

We did the Necklace Valley and Jade Lake!

Gear brought: Didn't bring ice axes or microspikes. There's a little snow travel, but not much and it typically wasn't steep or no bad runout.

Day 1

  • Jade Lake
  • Dip Top Gap

Day 2

  • Mount Hinman
  • La Bohn Gap
  • Tank Lakes

Day 3

  • Iron Cap Gap
  • Chetwoot Lake
  • Big Heart, Copper, Trout Lakes

Getting to Jade Lake: From the end of FS 6830 road, I'd recommend taking the trail down to Deception Creek and then around to Lake Clarice trail to Marmot Lake. LOTS of mosquitoes at Jade Lake.

Tank Lakes to Chetwoot: This section is SLOWER than you'd think. Lots more boulder fields and scrambly trail.

Chetwoot-Out: Trail gets better. Lots of walking.

Coming down from Mt Hinman toward classic Necklace Valley
Amazing views from Tank Lake

Hi Andrew, how was the section between pea soup lake and Mt Hinman? I'm super curious about this route but it doesn't look like there's a true trail between those two spots. Is there an unofficial trail or is it proper cross-country travel?
