What you'll see 🌄 Big views🏞️ Lake🌲 Old growth

To reach this trailhead, make sure to drive to the end of the road (you will pass some buildings with parking areas, but these are private housing - not for public use). From here, climb 4 miles (6.4 km) to the wildflower meadows of Heather Park, or 3.4 miles (5.4 km) to the mirror-like waters of Lake Angeles.

Tips
All forest until the lake, then a dramatic rock bowl. Can be linked with Heather Park into a long circuit.
