    This was our first family backpacking trip in 2020. On Alltrails it was rated as moderate, however since we are from Texas and it was our first time carrying packs, the switchbacks for us were difficult. What made it nice is that there was some mild traffic around the lake during the day from hikers, horse back, and fishing, but in the evening it was like having the lake to ourselves. There were several waterfalls on the way up. Lovely little spot.

    Beautiful lake. Quiet and peaceful. The hike was so worth it. Feels so rewarding when you get to the lake.

    GREAT hike/ bring the whole fam! Dogs loved swimming in the lake, and I almost jumped in myself had I brought a swimsuit. This makes for a great late morning hike and thigh burner- even carried my two-year-old up in a child carrier. We all had a wonderful time with stellar views!

    Beautiful Alpine Lake. Definitely worth the challenge of the hike. Can fish in the lake if you haul up your gear. Good hike for all ages- but challenging. Overall the pay off is worth it!
