Cutthroat Lake — Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025

Hiked on Saturday, perfect weather conditions. Drove past the trailhead Sunday at 12pm and it was snowing, about 2 inches on the ground on Highway 20. We arrived at 8am and there was parking in the lots on Sat. We came back at about 11:30am on Sat and there were cars down the road for about half a mile. Fairly busy trail on the way back down, starting around 10am there were lots of dogs and bikers. Not my favorite to have to yield to bikers. Heard a kingfisher at the lake! The larches and fall foliage all around were beautiful.
