    Absolutely gorgeous hike and backpacking trip at royal lake. The road to the trailhead is full of potholes in a few miles. Good elevation with full backpacks. Great views of Mt Deception at upper lake. Did day hike there. Waterfalls, deer, bunnies and marmots. Sublime!

    Heavenly walk through the woods for the first 4miles. Mile 5-6 start to get your heart rate up, and the last 1.4miles is hard. I did also have an over night pack with all my gear, which that weighed ~30-35lbs. Make sure to start early to beat the heat and to get a good spot at the lake!
