Hiked into and out of Lake Janus today with my wife and our two kids, a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. We used the Smithbrook trail to access the lake, getting to the trailhead on the 6700 road about 11:30am and found lots of cars. We met a lot of hikers on the trail up until we passed through Union Gap, after-which the PCT trail to Lake Janus was very quiet, only passing a few other hikers.
Bugs we’re almost nonexistent and the trail was in good shape all the way to the lake, only a few areas of mud to skirt and a short section of brush. The lake was nice and calm with only one camp that we could tell.
