Description
Take the Crystal Lakes trail from the trailhead for 1.25 miles to a junction with this trail. Descend slightly and ford the stream. As the trail ascends, your surroundings will transition from dense forest to meadows and pastoral forest. The final push to the summit is steep and exposed to the elements. Again, the effort is well worth the reward.
Take in the panoramic views before retracing your steps to the trailhead.
