Description
Easy trail that then drops steeply into the Ancient Lakes area. Great views of the lakes and both some small and larger waterfalls. The larger waterfall is only really visible from the bottom. You can then skirt the right side of the lake to connect to the larger Ancient Lakes trail network. Note that there are no trail signs in this whole area, so highly recommend a GPS.
