Leader's notes

It's a steady gradual uphill to Upper Granite Lake with a few easy water crossings (waterproof boots advised as there may be unavoidable wet areas on creek crossings and near the lake). I'd like to keep a steady ~2.25-2.5 mi/hr pace with minimal rest/water breaks. We'll take a little time at the lake for a lunch break before heading back.
