Lena Lake — Tuesday, May. 16, 2023

Loved this trail. Road out to the trailhead is pathed but you do need to watch out for some gnarly dips. WTA was working on the trail - super friendly and you could easily see their impact. One streaming crossing. The trail is well maintained and gorgeous. Mostly covered so will be great in the summer not be exposed the whole time. No bugs yet. Some flowers along the way. The water was raging and really lovely to cross over a few times. The bridges are to die for. The lake is pretty but not anything breathtaking - this is more of an enjoy the journey trail. The pit toilet near the camp ground near the lake is closed. We didn’t see many people hiking or camping but it was a Tuesday. We were alone in the woods most of the time but saw enough people to know this trail is probably pretty popular. Nice, gradual incline. Nothing real technical. Highly recommend. We clocked right at 7.3 round trip with 1663 elevation gain.
