    This is a wonderful hike, good trail, moderate elevation gain. And Avalanche Lake is particularly beautiful in late May/early June when the six or so waterfalls are cascading into the lake.

    Getting there was a bit stressful but once you get there you won’t regret it. Btw the hike down wasn’t bad at all.
