Trailhead at 0730. Directions will be provided.
Lots of cool forest to hike in, before climbing up to two lakes. Destination includes both lakes and possibly Surprise Gap or the PCT above Glacier Lake.
It's a buggy summer, so come prepared for lots of mosquitoes.
Possible lake swim if weather cooperates and you are interested. The alpine lake "spa" experience is not to be missed!
