Location Information
This is a pleasant hike through a picturesque, heavily forested canyon. The canyon is glacial and steeply cut with spectacular granite cliffs rising above groves of aspen. Once you reach the intersection with the Pacific Crest Trail, the trail becomes very steep. Turn left at the Pacific Crest Trail and continue on to Noble Lake.Please Remember: * Always carry drinking water.
* Hike in single file to keep trails narrow and wild.
* Prevent erosion, follow the trail and do NOT cut switchbacks.
* Keep trails clean, pack out ALL paper and trash.
* Protect plants and wildlife. LEAVE NO TRACE!
