Description
The Little Boulder Lake Trail departs from the Boulder Lake Trail #8W20 and travels 1.5 miles up to Little Boulder Lake at 6,400 feet elevation, with excellent views of the Coffee Creek watershed and Mount Shasta. The alpine lake has a few campsites with views of the spectacular granite headwall and fishing, and serves as a good alternative to camping at the more popular Big Boulder Lake.
