Description
An easy going trail from Walupt Lake Campground along the edge of Walupt Lake, passing the trail to the summit of Nannie Ridge after only a very short distance. The trail unfortunately heads a short distance away from the lake so there are not that many completely open views to the lake along the way. After the lake and about 2.25 miles along, the trail rapidly climbs along a set of switchbacks. The trail then slopes gently again for a little over a mile to the Pacific Crest Trail.
