Lake Janus and Grizzly Peak — Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023

Went to this almost forgotten lake on the pct trail. Went up to the pct via the smithbrook trail and turned right on the pct. To the left is Valhalla lake.trail is a bit bushy,but easy to follow. 2 miles from the junction with the Valhalla trail,you come to Janus lake. Good sized lake with marshy meadows around most of it.bring a raft if you want to fish here. Good solitude,as most people who visit here are thru hikers and not day hikers. 7 miles round trip,with about 1400 ft gain,in two sections.
