Overview
This area is a favorite for backpacking, camping, and fishing, so you can expect to see other visitors while exploring. The best time to visit is from July through October. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash.
The Tucquala Meadows Trailhead serves as a popular gateway to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Hikers are encouraged to start early, as the trailhead tends to get crowded on summer weekends. The route follows the valley past Hyas Lake before beginning a steady climb. At the junction with the Robin Lakes Trail, head toward Tuck and Robin Lakes. This well-loved backpacking destination can have competitive campsite availability.

What an amazing hike! Love the stream crossings on deception. The hike up to tuck was a peace of cake and any novice hiker could do it. However the hike up to Robin was very steep and you should definitely proceed with caution. All in all managing the risk I would say the ascend to Robin is definitely worth it as tuck is beautiful but Robin is twice that and seems very other worldly. Total time moving was 5.5 hours and the total miles was nearly 14 while the ascension was 3,200. One of my new favorites in the baker area!
