    Beautiful lake and I jumped off the rock! We did the hike from canyon death trail. Part of the trail heading down was steep. I’m not use to the altitude since I’m from NYC. I had to stop several times but it was relatively easy, well marked path, beautiful wildflowers!

    Quite possibly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. An easy 1(ish) mile in. We saw a mule deer right off the path. We could hear the waterfall all the way across the lake. It was such a serene experience. The lake is goooorgeous! 100% worth the short hike!

    We went for the longer hike, hiking up slightly and then down into the canyon where the lake is and then around the entire lake. It was about 10.1 miles total for us and about 63 floors of evaluation climbed. It was beautiful, well marked, and a fun hike.
