Gillette Lake and Greenleaf Overlook — Friday, Aug. 19, 2022

I've hiked to Gillette Lake many times, and to the bridge once, today I decided to go further.  I followed the PCT to the Two Chiefs Trail (no longer marked), and followed that looking for Greenleaf Falls, which is supposed to be at the end.  Didn't find waterfalls, but lovely views from the slide under Table Mountain.
Anyway, the hike as far as Gillette Lake is easy to get to, with the trailhead right off the highway, and the lake is always lovely. The trail surface tends to be pretty rocky, which I don't enjoy much, but the area is beautiful.  Today there weren't many bugs until I got further on the trail.  The trail is in good shape, except the blackberry vines doing their very best to overgrow it.  The blackberries are ripe, which is great if you want blackberries, not as great if your dogs won't stop eating them and finish your hike.
Not a ton of wildflowers, but there were some pretty ones.
