    This is one of our favorite hikes. Only 4 stars today because of the yellow jackets in one spot had a hole on the edge of the trail that we didn’t see until we were stung several times. I’m over it already and ready to go again soon!

    Never a dull moment on this amazing trail. Take a chainsaw if you go early, you’ll need it

    Fish Hook Creek
    A gradual uphill from the trailhead while listening to the creek. This hike is fairly quick and has a beautiful payoff view of the creek, alpine meadow, and surrounding mountains. Well worth the time.

    Easy hike for 74 year old, Lots of dead and down pines from bark beetles. But the view from meadow was spectacular. Didn’t make it to lake; rain coming and rain gear in camper.
