We will start on the Granite Creek Connector trail and go to Thompson Lake. 

We have not scouted this hike due to the change in location and may not have time to scout it ahead of time due to illness.  Given that we have not scouted the entire route (we are familiar with the route up to the intersection with the trail to Thompson Lake) I have been conservative and listed the max length and elevation from the various resources consulted. The trail may prove to be a little shorter and less steep.
