Overall a very beautiful hike and the Lena Lake is stunning. We ate a late lunch at the lookout rock (see included photo) and drank in the view. Next time, we want to go back, camp, and take a dip in the lake.
I'm conflicted on the trail rating. There are sections with a lot of loose rocks. We didn't bring trekking poles and coming down with tired legs was somewhat frustrating in sections. It seems maybe some of the larger rocks have been kicked loose from drainage borders and aren't supposed to be strewn about the path. So, I'd recommend taking it slow and for anyone with limited mobility or balance challenges to definitely bring trekking poles. Another review described it as a "two lane highway", which couldn't be further from the truth.
