Yep! If you like hidden gems like azure blue and green lakes with well groomed campsites at lakes edge, this is it! This trailhead takes some determination to get to however. (long gravelled (potholed) section of road just before you get there) But way worth it. The TH parking is sort of smallish, but had room for my car on a Saturday. (and maybe 6 or seven more at 10:30am) The trail itself starts out with a steady climb up #251. Soon you fare left at a hairpin turn rather than continue straight on #250. In short order you'll come to Bertha May Lake and then within maybe 1/3 mile or so further beautiful Granite Lake. I continued on for a fairly long and steady climb up and then down quite a ways to Cora Lake. It's really beautiful here. The water is azure blueish green. Very serene with no a breath of wind disturbing it on the day I went. Good campsites too.
This hike (to Cora Lk.) is about 9.5 miles I believe out and back. Elevation gain somewhere around 2700 feet.
Takes some effort, but not bad at all. Enjoy!
