I arrived to the trail head parking lot at 8:45 am. The lot only had a handful of vehicles. Still enough room for a dozen more. The bathroom is open.
An 18 mile hike as a 62 year old can be tiring. This hike took me 5 hours and 45 minutes R/T. The first 6 miles are a piece of cake. Pretty much a slight up grade walk. The final 3 miles is where all the vertical elevation hides.
The lakes is stunning. The outlet creek is equally as stunning. The hike up gives you some beautiful views of a waterfall.
This is a great training hike if that's what you're looking for. The trail has a handful of downed trees. There's also short stretches overgrowth where you can't see the trail.
