Grand Valley Loop — Tuesday, Sep. 24, 2024

Beautiful view-laden loop route from Obstruction Point (closed from October through winter).   Going clockwise,  the trails goes down down down steeply from Obstruction Point into a beautiful forested valley,  then climbs again up to Grand Lake.   You can complete the loop in one day by taking the trail towards Lillian Ridge and back up to Obstruction.   We made it a two day hike,  camping overnight at Moose Lake, and enjoying a brisk dip in this lake surrounded by mountain peaks.   Our lovely large campsite was at the end of the lake.  Nice to camp at a lake and have no bugs- that's fall backpacking at its best!
