Beautiful! Mid-June was the perfect time of the year to see lots of wildlife and flowers galore. Lots of roads and trails to explore with alpine desert flora on the tops of the hills and a few feet down the side it completely changed. Moose every where, even had a coyote walk thru camp.

Great hike, beautiful scenery, and a must do experience. Approximately 5.5 miles to Alice Lake. Approx. 21.6 loop to breathtaking views and lakes. Bring some good hiking boots and bug spray as the uphill journey is long with 4 water crossings. You can hop the rocks or walk on falling trees or just wet those working feet. Awesome hike for the challenge and surrounding beauty. Dogs are welcome on leash but make sure they are conditioned for rapid elevation gain. We will be back soon!

Best answer is to look on the website for the part of the forest you are visiting.

Is late May too soon for warm/hot/good weather for tent camping in this area? If not suggestions?

Stevie Ottosen | Jul 18, 2019
Allan Overmeyer | Jul 19, 2019

If anything May can be early if you aren't prepared for cold weather. While uncommon, it is a good idea to plan for snow. Check the weather often when in the high country.
