15 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Hike 'n bike in the Roaring River Wilderness. Went up Cripple Creek Trail to Cache Meadow Trail then to the ridge above Serene Lake on the Grouse Point Trail followed by an exit at the Roaring River Campground via the Dry Ridge Trail. Hopped on the e-bike for the return through Three Lynx to the Cripple Creek trail head. Hardly a speck of snow at nearly 5000' - conditions more like summer than spring.

I like that view of Serene Lake - seems to be very deep lake, so blue. How do you like ebike?
Roman, I can only guess but Serene Lake is pretty deep - say more than 50 but less than 100 feet. On the e-bike, for this type application it works really well - the return trip via ebike had around 500' elevation gain - coming at the end of a long hike would have been pretty painful on a non-powered bike. Clips along at a little over 20 MPH on the flat.

I'm hoping to do a more laid back version of this trip this year.
