Not much of interest and the two places we camped were only marginally decent and pretty cramped. The good part is that there was no one else out there.

This was a great hike, and for only the 3 and a half miles, your whole family could go. Seriously, I got all the way there and there was kids.

Moderately intense since the first half is all uphill at a good incline. Most of the switchbacks are exposed but once you get past those it’s fairly flat with just a couple more hill sections.

Amazing landscape, beautiful wildflowers.
The climb from emerald lake to sawtooth ridge (towards caribou lake) is brutal

Views of Mt Shasta and the Red Buttes were spectacular. Stopped at the Echo Lake viewpoint. Stunning. Had a picnic there and a nap.
