Tentative schedule 

First Day

Arrive at lower trailhead at 9:15am, ready to hike by 10am. We will hike 1.5 miles gaining 725ft passing by another lake, through a beautiful forest and lovely streams. We will camp at Mirror Lake. We will be going a leisurely pace. Camping early will mean lots of time to play and explore.

Second Day 

Pack up camp in the mid-morning to afternoon and head back to parking lot - maybe get post backpacking treats together depending on how the group is feeling.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns prior to the trip and I'll do my best to help out in any way I can!
