Anticipate an early start, getting to the Lake Serene trailhead around 8 a.m.

Let's determine the most convenient carpooling location closer to the date based on the locations of those who register. 

Steep trail, big steps, one exposed traverse along a hillside (careful!), and a lake that lives up to its name. 

As always, bring the ten essentials, including rain gear. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
