Verlot Ranger Station, 7:00 am

We will drive to the Bear Creek trailhead and hike along the trail to Bear Lake, then Pinnacle Lake. We leave the trail at Pinnacle Lake and ascend to the Bathtub Lakes Basin. It's a win-win situation. Either the blueberries bushes will be brimming with delicious berries or the basin will be awash in fall foliage colors. We will traverse the Bathtub Lakes Basin and climb to the summit. This year, we return by the same route that we ascend.
