Cutthroat Pass via Cutthroat Lake, Cutthroat Lake — Wednesday, Jul. 2, 2025

Combining this beautiful hike to the pass with a refreshing dip in the lake is epic!  The two washed-out bridges just before the turnoff to the pass have now been repaired and the entire trail is in great shape.  Creek crossings are similarly now very easy.  The gentle grade on this trail eases the 2,500 feet of elevation gain to the pass, where the views are nothing short of spectacular!
