Quite a spectacular throw-away, "how good can it be?" hike! I expected this to be a mundane trail, only to find an entire pristine area with beautiful views and activities! Even the drive there, once off of Rte. 2, was fun and quite pretty, itself.
The trail gave me 3 lakes and 2 ponds for the price of 1; and the mushrooms were putting on a fashion show just for me, showing off all of their abundant diversity. And when I say, "just for me," I did not see a single person during the entire 11 miles!
After being lulled into a sense being on an easy hike, as indicated by the first half; the 2nd half became quite aggressive at times, and the trail a little janky. But that's what we love! It reminded me of the hike to Silver Lake @ Monte Cristo, if that helps.
So, to recap: fun drive, beautiful hike, lots of shrooms, no people. And, more areas to explore!
