Began this hike at 1 PM, probably a bit later than I should have. The first stretch of trail was straightforward and well-maintained, but after starting the climb towards Marten Lake it became very easy to lose the trail. The occasional pink ribbon will let you know you’re on the right path, as well as some notched logs and cairns. I highly recommend downloading the trail before hiking as I had to use my GPS to relocate the trail on both the ascent and descent. All in all, it was a challenging hike but I got to have Marten Lake all to myself on a beautiful fall day.

Yeah this hike gets hard and don’t do unless you have good boots, skill and trekking poles. Also you need Gaia on the last mile of the hike. Also it wouldn’t be dumb to bring machete as there are a ton of protruding plants in the last mile.
