Things To Do

Hike!

NOTE: Please do you research before venturing out! Make sure you have the right car/tires, time for the drive to trailhead, sunscreen, bug spray, tons of water and maps downloaded as there will likely be no service. A couple of our favorites: EASY •• Ponderosa State Park loop (Lily Marsh to Huckleberry to Ridgeline trail). Don’t forget to drive up to Osprey Point for a beautiful 360 view! 3 miles; 100’ elevation gain. EASY •• Goose Creek Falls - 3 miles. Out and back trail. 685’ elevation gain in second half of hike. EASY •• Upper Hazard Lake - 5.1 miles. Out and back. 577’ elevation gain. MODERATE •• Lava Lakes - 5-6 miles round trip. 800’ elevation gain. DIFFICULT •• Boulder Lake to Louie Lake loop. 7 mile loop. 1600’ elevation gain. We recommend going clock-wise. DIFFICULT •• Box Lake - 7.1 miles. Out and back. 2300’ elevation gain. Our favorite way to end a hard hike is at My Father’s Place for a Mile High Milkshake!
