6.73 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
This hike does not have a great amount of elevation gain, but, it was tough for me on a day with nearly a 100 degree temperature. Almost the entire way is sun exposed, due to a prior fire in the area. You do get a glimpse of Dragontail and Colchuck peaks from the trail at the beginning of the hike. The lake is quite beautiful, with Eightmile Mountain as a backdrop.
