Would anyone be interested in hiking from the lake to the truck trails?
Probably not right now, but once the bears go to sleep :)
Could have some Jeepers do drop off and meet us on the waiparous side.
Think it's only a one day hike, but could camp 1/2 way to enjoy the scenery.

I'll go with ya Serge, need to get back in to hiking! Would be fun to camp half way.

The lake itself is 17 miles long I think. I think you also have to add the 4-5 mile hike past the three Ghost Lakes to the park boundry. There is a camp ground along the way, at least there used to be.
