Easy First-time Backpacking Trip
Aloha, Dyrt Trybe!
Easy backpacking trip - if you’re not sure if you want to try backpacking, this would be a good one to get you hooked. 2.5 -3.0 mile hike in (depending where you park), gaining about 1000’ of elevation. Ends at Green Lake with some phenomenal spots.
Keep in mind, the lake is from snowmelt, so not particularly warm.
Would get 5 stars if the bugs weren’t so bad. We were fortunate that a mountain breeze kicked up both days we were there, but bug spray/Thermacell and/or head nets will make your experience a lot more enjoyable.
