Blanca Lake — Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024

My wife and I walk daily (approximately 2-4 miles daily), and did this hike with our pit-bull on a Saturday morning starting at 11:41am and ending at 6:09pm. It took us 4 h and 37 m to hike the 8.7 miles roundtrip and we gained around 3,300 feet. We found the hike to be challenging due to the constant switchbacks and constant elevation gained. Lake was beautiful and the hike was worth it for us.
