11.6 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
Exceptionally beautiful loop and very recommended! Lewis Lake and the channel are breathtaking, and it leads to the SE corner of Shoshone Lake (which is also gorgeous. We hiked back on the CDT, but met no thru-hikers. Again, we got caught in T-storms at Lewis Lake, and put on rain gear, only to shed it about an hour later.
