Green Lake

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.

Everything is beautiful is this part of America so it doesn't need to be said how amazing the views are here.

I mean... all these little mammoth lakes are hidden gems but I loved my time hiking into green lake around thanksgiving time. A little more difficult to get to but worth it. From the parking location it’s not too much of a hike to get to green lake. Day hike the the north facing lake if you’d like as well.
