Awesome hike! Went here to backpack to whikey creek camp. Plenty of space to park in afternoon on a weekday. No issues with bears during the hike or near our vehicle. Used a filter and drank water from the creek and no issues! Easy trail to follow but it is steep in the beginning

Absolutely stunning views on this DOG FRIENDLY hike. It can be a strenuous hike all up hill to the lakes depending on the weather. There are many places to stop and enjoy the scenery. The lakes at the end definitely make for a nice refreshing reward. Plan on taking a dip before you head back down the trail.

A good medium hike with breathtaking lakes at the top. Make sure to pack your bathing suit, a towel and some mosquito repellant.

Get ready to climb 1,000 feet right away, this is a steep hike up to the lakes, with no shade cover, and the majority to the hike is getting to the lakes. Once you make it, the lakes are on fairly level ground. Bring plenty of water and some food, hike takes about 2.5-3 hours :)
