Field Trip Leader: Max Brodie

Join leader Max Brodie on a strenuous six mile hike at 7-9,000 ft. in elevation as we make a loop between three alpine lakes. The reward for your effort will be the chance to see species that simply can’t be seen elsewhere - birds such as Clark’s Nutcracker, Williamson’s Sapsucker, and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch will be some of our main targets. This trip will also spend time admiring the unique wildflowers in the area, as well as any mammals and other wildlife we come across.

Parking & Fees: Day use fee of $10 at parking lot, bring cash.

Special Conditions: Although the pace will be slow, the combination of high elevation and steep, uneven terrain make this a trip for those in strong physical condition. Trekking poles are strongly recommended.

Bring plenty of water, snacks/lunch, bug repellent and sun protection.

Restrooms will be available at the start/finish of trip.
