Greenwater Lakes

May 12 - 13, 2012

Elevation Gain: 426'
Highest Point: 3026'
Length: 5.5 miles
Difficulty: Very Easy

Forest-y. That's all I really remember. Greenwater Lake was nothing really special. It was certainly green and shallow. We found a nice campsite early, which is always good. There were three other groups that came by after we had set up. Couldn't make it up to Echo Lake this time of year. Too much snow and we were not prepared. There was one group who made it up there after we ran into them again in the parking lot.

Old growth forest

Lots of "fallen tree" type bridging for crossings.

Attempted to hike up to Echo Lake, but couldn't continue because of the snow.

Campsite in the shade. It was windy here, too.

On the hike out, found a better campsite than ours! Next time.
