Description
Start in Wild Horse Campground just above where Boulder Creek dumps into Wildhorse Creek. The trail up unto the lake is fairly easy with a push at the end to crest the lip of the lake. At about 2.3 miles up you can choose to work your way up and over the ridge to the north on Little Kane Creek Trail #4063. Press on and when you think it is getting easier, it is almost time to climb the last 1/4 mile up and in.
