 | Comments: |
Did this trail from bottom to top, plus return to junction with Isolation Trail in one day -- 16 miles. Was a long day, but weather near perfect and needed to complete trail. This is a rough trail, very slow going. It's not too steep, other then at the top, but there are a LOT of downfalls, re-routes, wet areas, and slides, particularly in the upper 3 miles. Plan on the full 6 hours one way. That said, it's a beautiful route to come up to Lake of the Clouds from. |
