Oct 04, 2015 — Some pretty steep parts, and relentless uphill for much of the trail. Many guides warn of a "vertical" section. Really, it's just a very tiny section with a massive root to use to get up a Class 2 scramble. Really nice swampy meadows along the trail. Lush, green forests. Lake of the Angels is gorgeous.
Please consider helping me out if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all site fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing these trip reports is unpaid. You can also hire me as a web developer. I really appreciate it!
If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!
If using PayPal, please select their option for "Sending to a friend" so they don't take out fees, thank you.
