A really wonderful day hike offering a nice workout, three lakes, solitude and surprising quiet without even much airplane noise.
We started on the trail about 10 AM and enjoyed lunch about 1 PM on the convenient log sofas at the outlet of Big Greider Lake. Our dining companions included Dippers, Stellar Jays and a curious weasel who peeked at us from under a log.
Be sure to look for the "storm trooper" rock up on the west wall rising over Big Greider Lake.
Fruit lovers can find huckleberries and wild blueberries beginning to ripen.
The WTA trail description proved very accurate except one spot was a bit confusing. At the Spada lake overlook with a sign (adorned by a large wasp nest) you will find two unmarked trails heading from the sign. With your back to Spada lake take the right hand (near trail) to continue on to Greider lakes.
A small landslide took out one of the switchbacks about halfway up the but a revised trail has been blazed and marked with plastic ribbon and can be negotiated with just a bit of care.
