Description
This trail switches back from the canyon bottom onto a bench, then gradually upward through conifer forests and small meadows. In some areas there are old tie hack cabins. The upper portion of this trail is difficult to find but by following the stream you will come to Baker Lake. The upper basin is a nice spot and well worth the hike to it.
