Heather Park-Lake Angeles Loop

A strenuous loop hike that starts with hiking up to ridgeline at Second Top then to the Klahane Saddle with amazing views of the area surrounding Hurricane Ridge followed by a grinding drop to Lake Angeles and return back to the trailhead. It's nearly 13 miles and over 4,000 feet of elevation gain.
