8.5 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •

My dad and I did a loop from Cultus Creek campground, up on trail 108 to PCT (with a side trip to one of Bird Mtn simmits), south on PCT to Bear Lake, a side trip to Elk Lake, back track to Clear Lake, then we went down Indian Heaven trail #33 and visited Cultus and Deep lakes. It was barely above freezing all day, with the trails icy and rime on the trees on Bird Mtn. Huckleberry colors are still good, esp. at Clear and around Cultus Lake. Gorgeous place, and a perfect day to be there!
