Lower Twin Lakes Hike
When: Thu, Oct 05, 2017 9AM-5PM |
This is a four-mile round-trip hike, with an approximately 500-foot elevation gain. Starting from the Frog Lake trailhead parking area, we will walk 1.5 miles north on Pacific Crest Trail # 2000, under a canopy of old growth and with a gentle climb to the junction with Trail # 495. From there it is 1/2 mile to Lower Twin Lake, where we will stop to have lunch. Bring a brown bag lunch to eat while enjoying this beautiful lake.
Optional: An easy walk around the lake will add another 1/4 mile to the hike for those who want to take in additional views of this beautiful lake. After lunch and the optional walk, we will all gather and trek back to our cars for the drive back to City Hall.
Caution: Participants must have water, snacks, lunch, and proper clothing for the weather of the day. Lug-sole shoes and hiking poles are recommended.
For more information about this hike please contact Kuldip Dhadwal at 805-509-0697 or kuldipdhadwal@hotmail.com.
Senior Healthy Hikers asks that participants be 50 or older. A couple wishing to hike is welcome if one member of the couple is 50 or better.
