Very scenic and shaded hike. Lots of up and over but very little elevation gain. So much to see on this hike. Especially fungi, be sure to go slow and look under, around, and inside all the voids between the boulders.
The road is pretty long for the distance of the hike. But the scenery is definitely worth it. If you go earlier in the year the lake looks like it would be fun for fishing. During our visit the lake was very low, 10 feet or more below full pool.
My hiking partners and I combine motorcycle rides and hikes so a long, fairly bumpy dirt road is part of the adventure. This would also be a great bicycle ride plus hike for those that enjoy long gravel road cycling.
There are a couple camp spots at the trailhead but it is pretty buggy there. Once on the hike we didn't really notice any bugs.
Short, easy hike with lots to look at and probably not going to see too many people as the road to get there is pretty long.
