Had a short hike before it got too hot. The trail is in good condition.

Beautiful mid-morning hike. Turn right toward campsites 1-71 and the trailhead is behind the bathrooms. Trail was dusty and some patches were overgrown but three kids 12 and under made it just fine. No one else with masks but only encountered 3-4 other groups on a Wednesday morning.

The campgrounds were absolutely packed yet I didn't see a single soul on the hike, which was nice. this is a very easy hike suitable for all ages while still providing beautiful views. Would recommend.

Completed both loops. Great views with very minimal elevation gain. Very suitable for young kids.

To access the trailhead, turn right towards the campsites after entering the park. It's not down by the water.

We did the Bitterbrush loop and skipped the short loop. We went left at the intersection so it was a gradual climb the whole way, then a little steeper descent to get back to the fork. The trail was in great condition, just one section where the snowberry was slightly overgrown. We both did the walk in sandals. Really nice views of the lake!

Wildflowers were starting to fade a bit, but I'd bet they'll still be OK this weekend! Saw lots of tall oregon grape and arrowleaf balsamroot, and a little indian paintbrush and some kind of pink phlox.
