Sunday Trail Run: Granite Lake

SUN MOUNTAIN RESCHEDULE! Please note the change in date: we will be running over Memorial Day weekend, on the 24th!

Remember Mailbox? This is Mailbox's chill cousin! This is a roughly 8.5-mile out-and-back, taking us through the Middle Fork Valley and up to one of this region's many glorious lakes. We'll gain about 2,000 feet on the way up, and top out at 3,070 feet. Expect lots of flowers, little waterfalls, and a fun li'l scramble to the lake. I've been warned that dogs will love this, but their people will love it better if there's a towel at the end!

Discovery Pass required to park in the lot. Pit toilets at the trailhead.
Please ignore Meetup's location. It has no idea where this trailhead is. Coordinates for the parking lot are 47.49198, -121.64000. Post in the comments to arrange carpools!

Many thanks to Scott H. for scouting this route.
