Moderate 7.3 mi out and back 2,713 ft elevation gain Hiked 6/27/25 Full Photo Set
A couple of flat areas along with a very steep ascent towards the beginning and a fairly steep ascent at the top will take you to a set of 3 small lakes. One is in a lower bowl and is where the campsites are, while the others are above it. Waterfalls below each set of lakes and access to the ridge above, which was too stormy when I was there to go to the top of.
Looking across the larger of Southfork lakes towards Southfork mountain.
A patch of Kings-Crown, Rhodiola integrifolia Raf. growing in the rocky outcrops a short distance from the lake.
A patch of Twinflower, Linnaea borealis L. growing among some dead wood.
And just a heads up, I’ll be out of cell service until I think Sunday (Isle Royale backpacking) so it’ll be a short hiatus on these posts.
