Intermediate Backpack overnight to Loch Levin Lakes

Details

This is an awesome Summer overnight trip, with great swimming and beautiful views.

This is an out & back, single night backpacking trip from the trailhead (5.800’) to Loch Leven Lakes (6,500’). The trail is 4 miles to the middle lake. There are some steeper sections of trail and some switchbacks, but nothing awful. This trip is for people with some backpacking experience and moderate fitness.

WHERE
Meet at the parking lot for the Loch Leven Trailhead at 9am Saturday. Parking is very limited so car-pooling is strongly encouraged. You can park along the road at certain spots, but carefully observe for "no parking" signs.
The trailhead is about an hour east of the city of Auburn off highway 80.
We are starting at 9am to give us the best chance of securing the big camp site for our group. Please be ready to start hiking at 9am sharp.
