Mountainkat went hiking June 7, 2015 8.78 miles 2,500 feet gained
I chose this hike with multiple destinations, so I could turn around when I felt like it. The hike to Trout Lake was easy. The open, brushy switchback climb up to Copper Lake really got to me in the heat. Once at Copper Lake, I continued on the trail along lake shore for a bit, but, I decided to hang out at the lake for a while, instead of pushing on to Little Heart and Big Heart Lakes.
