Reviews of Grassi Lakes (Zoo)

K K

Great scenery, worth the hike.

Renan Valle

Nice place

J B

Fridenly family hiking 30 to 40mins one way

Ken Devoe

Go up the easy walk and come down the more difficult trail to see the lakes and the waterfall! So beautiful!

Rayne-Anne Latchford Oosterveld

Took the harder route but couldn't complete it as at the end it was very dangerous going around a rock on a narrow ledge with a sheer cliff 100's of feet below. This area is a total hazard and should have a railing for sure.

Nav

An amazing experience in Grassi Lakes. A must visit place in Canmore area.

Joerg Factorine

The harder version of this trail is perfect if you're looking for a fun adventure. Beautiful scenery the entire way and the waterfall on the way up is stunning.

Mike Larsson

Stunning views and a beautiful lake! Amazing for families or people in wheelchairs as the easy path is great to navigate. The only reason I give 4 stars is that the lake itself was closed off for construction, and this info wasn't available online before we went, so we were disappointed not to see the main event. The views from the more difficult path of the reservoir and waterfall were stunning, however, and pretty much made up for that :)

Wonderful place!

I drove to Grassi Lakes on Sunday of May long weekend and the parking lot and trail were packed with people. You can either park up on the main road and walk down the service road or you can drive down the service road and park at the trail head if there is space in the parking lot. There is an outhouse and a trail map at the trail head. There were about thirty people lined up to use the outhouse when I arrived at about 2pm. I headed up the trail which was dusty and rocky (not paved). It is uphill almost the whole way for about 30 minutes at a steady pace. I saw lots of families, some with small children and dogs. It looked hard for the kids, some of whom were crying. One girl had sprained her ankle on the way down and was sitting in the middle of the path. There was even someone riding his mountain bike up the trail. Even though this trail is on the shorter side it is rugged and quite steep. Be prepared with appropriate footwear and a water bottle. At the top there is a small, shallow lake and stream. There are a few benches and a view of Canmore and surrounding mountains. There is also a giant pipeline nearby which is an eyesore. If you don’t want to hike up the main trail, there are some smaller trails below by the water (a river or lake?) with gorgeous views of surrounding mountains. I found it to be much more peaceful down below once I got away from the parking lot. There was not a quiet moment on the main trail, which is to be expected on a long weekend I suppose. I much prefer the trails I’ve hiked in Banff to this one. I would most likely not return.

We went down the easy way, which is just basically a gravel road. We were astonished at the number of people coming up and when we reached the parking lot, our mouths dropped. There were cars parked along the road on BOTH sides for at least 1/4 of a mile - one side of which had NO Parking signs every 10 feet.

Joerg Radde

Fantastic hike. Go up the hard side. The rock stairs are a good experience.

Vikas Raj Bhagat

Great place for a walk.

Minaz M

Wow very beautiful

tien NGUYEN

This is a short easy trail with couple of very small lakes at the end. The trail to the waterfall is closed. Trail is in great shape. All the white trees today added to the experience. Too bad for all the power lines spoiling the view. We recorded 5.5 KM and 201 M of elevation gain.

Anna B.

Best views on difficult hiking side,its not hard for adults, it would be hard for kids under 7 & senior people but there is an easy trail that they can be hike.

Jason Smith

Amazing place. Seeing God's creation was breath taking. Not very far from Calgary, you also get plenty of scenic views while driving towards Canmore. There were two 'levels' of hiking trails at Grassi Lakes. The wife and I took the more difficult one going to the top. Pretty good hike, plently enough to warm up the body. Able to get some great views of the land near the top of this trail. When arriving at the lakes, it was a beautiful site. Clean and refreshing look. A lot of places to sit to enjoy the view. While we were there, we saw a lot of people rock climbing so I guess if you like to rock climb this would be a place to check out. When heading back we took the easier route and it was a laid back walk down. We enjoyed both trails in the order we took them, difficult going up and less difficult going down. Definitely recommend going to Grassi Lakes to see the place and if you want to hike but not too much.

Hesham Chybli (Hesh)

That's one of the reasons I live in Calgary. The beautiful lake and short trekking course are fantastic. It's even better because I can go with my dog. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Not only do people live in Canada, but also people who have traveled.

Mihail Gherghircic

The hike is perfect for a beginner or just starting out for the season. Great for kids and families looking to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Good to have shoe cleats in the winter/spring months. Bring a light snack and camera.

Jelmer

Awesome place!

郭浩轩

Perfect hike for a family. It’s about 5km round trip. I’d recommend going up on the more difficult trail and coming down on the easier trail. The more difficult one has a lot of roots, and occasionally water run off goes across the trail. This makes the rocks quite slick. Our seven year old had no issues completing the journey and we all wore runners. We brought along bear spray as it was recommended for the trail. However we went on the long weekend along with half of Calgary so the bear spray wasn’t really needed. Honestly there were so many people. Too many people.

Lindsey Kwan

It's very worth it

Jenny

It's very beautiful and mysterious lake ????

Saim I.

1st time hiking around canmore and did Grassi lakes with friends. Easy 400 ft elevation hike , which took about 45 min each way. On weekends, Get to parking before 9am during peak season. Wear hiking boots, as there is loose gravel and wet trails. Enjoy!! ????

Naveen N

Try the hard trail in winter, it's rewarding. Recommend to bring your ice/snow pikes (it's still doable with no gear)

Tibisay Orozco

Close to the town, nice view

Catalin T

Great walk to the top, you have the choice between 2 paths, the easy one on the right is more accessible but the toughest one is still easy for most of the people. Beautiful colours on the lakes.

Fatima Almaqtari

Fantastic hike. We took “the more difficult “ route. It wasn’t that hard. There is one steep section where you climb a series of stairs, that might be hard for some. There are several places where water tricked across the path so step carefully. We had a 6, 10, and 12 year old and it was hard for us to keep up with them. The hike is beautiful and you will find you naturally take lots of breaks on this route to take pictures. Up at grassi lake the view is stunning. You can even see trout swimming in the lake if look closely. It’s crystal clear. The hike was 5.5 km round trip from the upper lot. It took us under 2 hours with lots of stops and snack time. Enjoy your hike!

Foreverblue

We hiked the lower trail with two dogs and liked that it was a well established trail that was wide enough to stay distanced from others. The lake was beautiful and the only disappointment was from my dog because I wouldn’t let him swim.

Dan Rondeau

Easy Hike and very beautiful view!! Great for family trip.

Keisha

This was an AMAZING hike. Honestly it was the highlight of my trip, better than Lake Louise in my opinion! Dont stop the hike at the waterfall! Keep going up and you’ll hot two breath taking lakes

Ali Hassan

Always a nice easy hike. Perfect.

Khalid Amin

beautiful view, easy trail!

Rob Girouard

Hike is a bit steep but not too long.

Arpit Patel

Stunning views at the top of a very easy hike. I'm pretty sure I saw a 4 year old drag a Barbie up, so most people should be capable.

Linda Graham

Lovely but super crowded.

Rinat Haque

Went there late morning in August 2019. Parking lot was full so we just parked along the side of the road like everyone else up the hill. We took the easy hike up and the more difficult hike back. The two lakes at the top were absolutely gorgeous. Lots of people but lots of room to take pictures. Waterfalls were also nice on the way back down. Very nice views of Canmore as well. 2 adults and 2 teenage kids did this easily. 2.5 hours round trip and it gave us time to take a bazillion pictures.

Rick Harris

Went on a hike with my friend here and man oh man! Very pretty!

Ruby Czinger

Love this trail, had a winter walk this afternoon!!!! And a picnic with my pup.

Carolina Collao

Impressively stunning!! The view is breathtaking! We did a hike in mid November. There was snow and some wind. We made it up to the top and the view took my breath away! ???????????? The hike is very walkable and moderately easy!

Devan Balgobin

It was great! Took the difficult trail up, (super scenic) and the easy trail down. We weren’t in any technical gear, and it took us 80 minutes to complete it. We stopped, took pictures and just took a water bottle between us before we went for dinner after. Not so great to do the switch back trails if you’ve got bad knees. Stick to the easy path.

Christopher Damian

Easy hike. Great Cadio exercise and family friendly

Monika P

A short hike to the lakes! It's really nice! But only go in groups because of bear warnings ????????

Lauren Dauvin

Awesome views

Grace Xiao

Beautiful, easy, uphill hike.

Claire Hanna

Just wow

Chana Simmonds

A pretty easy hike for some nice views of the Rockies and Canmore. Easy day trip from Calgary Alberta

Blanca MS

Never saw such a turquoise water

David Zicho

Any easy to access lake via vehicle from Canmore or a rewarding hike. Either way you end up at a picturesque spot commanding breathtaking views of the valley below. There's ample space to setup along the beach front for a picnic and we witnessed a few folks paddle boarding. No boats and it's a tad windy but that's a welcome aspect to help relieve heat from the sun!

Jarvis Palada

The easiest and closest hike near Calgary and the lake is absolutely gorgeous.. highly recommended!

Nick Sturk

Heafty uphill hike to the ponds but definitely worth it

reza mahmudi

Two very beautiful lakes, both a brilliant blue. Have a bit of uphill walk to get there, but very manageable.

Kaitlin Mahar

It’s my favorite hiking place in Alberta. Absolutely amazing! Last year trying take my father there however because the fire made too many bears come down so it was blocked. Luckily this year reopened. Willing to come again!

Mary Fowler

Stunning would recommend to anyone passing through Canmore

Prabin Rokaya

Amazing scenery and peace once you get to the top of the walk. The views are to do for and you can easily spend a few hours enjoying the beauty of nature. We went into Canmore which was beautiful to cap the day off and what better way to do it than walking down Main Street checking out crafts, sweets and lots of variety of drinks and food.

Emily Michelle Fata

we took easier trail which called Grassi Lake Upper about 35 minutes to see this crystal-clear lakes surrounded by impressive rock faces. It’s really picturesque!

Eva Feng Shui

Awesome place with most picturesque views, scenic roads n secluded locations for perfect private parties...just one thing, road for last few kms is not in good condition

Bernadette BTS

2 trail paths - easy and hard - went up hard route came back easy route spotted a black bear amazing views and would definitely recommend

Otto Sanchez Alvarez

A stunning area - waterfalls, forest trails, wildflowers, beautiful mineral lakes, clearly marked paths. Easily 9/10. This trail is a perfect family trail, with an easy path, beautiful views, and plenty of benches to sit, rest, and grab a snack. It was a drizzly day when we went, so there weren't vast amounts of people, which was nice.

Michelle Hadley

It’s located just outside of the Banff national park in Canmore, so you don’t need a park pass to visit. The hike has both an easy and difficult route, but due to the current weather conditions the difficult route was closed and we could only take the easy route! The hike has a consistent uphill slope but it’s not so steep that you’d need a break if you pace yourself. There are signs along the way so you know you haven’t gotten off track. Gorgeous views of the turquoise Grassi Lakes once you’re up there. I can’t wait to come back when it’s nicer and try out the more difficult route.

Shaelie Chornohus

The color of Grassi Lake is a photographer's dream.

Manny Saikuz

It was a decent 30 mins hike up but you won’t be disappointed when u see what up there

Tallitha Campos

The pictures do not lie! This place is stunning so green and blue!!

Ahmed Elshinnawy

The lakes are comparatively very small, but they are beautiful. The hike to the lakes is also not bad. The view from the top is nice too. I think if you go without much expectation, then it is a nice short escape,

Annie Chu

Amazing view! Great for family trail.

Sage

Beautiful area with great views, we had our engagement photos done here and they came out beautifully. Easy to just walk around for a bit of go for a full hike, it is extremely touristy however so finding parking on a nice day can be very difficult.

Tatiana Avricenco

Loved this hike

JB Park

Wow amazing. .. water color is like emerald ~~

Kamal Khan

Great family hike located close to Canmore. Grassi Lakes is equipped with a beautiful view and walking trails. Great for picnics or photos. The scenic blue water is picturesque and has a wide variety of Wildlife species. Perfect for families or those looking for a more advanced hike. Grassi Lakes offers trails from beginner to experienced. The Grassi Lakes also have a bit of history, The trails themselves were hand carved by Mr.Grassi himself! A must see!

Jennifer Tempel

Beautiful view at the top.

Jasmin Geiger

Very nice trail (note: pick the 'more difficult' route, it's much nicer) and the view from the Grassi Lakes is beautiful

nazim nizar

It's a good Hike, so the most difficult hike is the easy hike I would say. Easy hike has crazy elevations.

Patrik Marcisin

A wonderful light hike, kid and pet friendly.

Linda Watson

Great day hike. Enjoyable for all. We did the easy way up and harder way down, which brings you to a great view of the falls.

Helmer T’naja

Perfect hike for almost all ages and levels to enjoy. Great medium duration hike, it took us about an hour. Gorgeous views.

Mary Smith

Beautiful place to go for a walk when in Canmore

Yemi Marcus

If you are heading this way take the difficult route up to the lake. You get a number of great view points & a waterfall. The trail gets more difficult towards the end & you certainly need a moderate level of fitness and agility as well as good shoes.

hula hoop9191

Awesome hike, did the more difficult route to the Lakes with great scenery, waterfalls and views. The lakes were beautiful, well worth the hike and we took the easier but slightly longer route back down.

Afia A

Awesome

Trumpeter Swan

Went for a winter hike here. Was 1.6km uphill but overall wasn't that challenging. Just a short drive south of Canmore

Jason Moore

The harder work if worth it, but bear in mind if there is ice and you don’t have proper gear, things will get tricky. The views along the way are stunning and the lake itself is a clear. Walk beyond the lake to see some ancient carvings and painting in the rock formations. The easier route is suitable for children and prams/strollers, albeit a bumpy ride!

James Mccaffery

Beautiful spot! Stunning lakes and views!

Cheryl O

A nice short dayhike with beautiful lakes and Little falls. Not difficult adults and children will have no problems.

Abegail Barba

we had gone during winter a day after it snowed, and found it slippery and risk of falling, so turned back after a short try.

Matt Thomas

This is a fabulous hiking trail to Goat Creek

Regan Ference

Beautiful hike with gorgeous glacial lakes. A must see if you are in the area. Make sure to be prepared to see some wildlife!

Manish Sharma

We started this hike from Whitemans Pond and made our way down the Rock Climbers trail to the lake. Really nice 15 minute hike to Grassi Lakes. Amazing views and well worth the trek back up.

Clare Jones

Easy hike with a great reward!! Really beautiful and convenient to get to if you're in Canmore. For a somewhat rainy Wednesday morning it was pretty crowded so I imagine it can get pretty bad.

Cameron Robertson

Beautiful

Liudmila

this is the jewel of canmore , a must for every visitor .a easy hike no special gear required . PLEASE respect the secret lakes do NOT jump in . your luck will be gone and the evil spirit will follow you.

Margery Owen

Emerald water.

Danielle West

I would prefer not to leave a review so that less people know of this place ???? but I have to give this place props. Amazing views and quite a hike but worth the prize at the top. There was an owl that ended up attacking a few dogs but the dogs weren't harmed nor was the owl. that was eventful but overall just a beautiful views all over.

Thomas Ziesmann

Now I am not one for cardio, but this place is worth it. My advice is to take the easy route up and the difficult route down. Let’s be honest, I still needed to take some breaks on the way up, but it was nice and shady and there was a great breeze. At the top there are awesome views and a couple cool lakes. People are rock climbing. But the amazing thing is the views down the difficult route down. You have the waterfall beside you, as you jump down some steep stairs. You walk along some wet rocks. It’s definitely a little hard on the knees. But I’d still give this 5 stars.

Luis PurexD

We had no expectations of this 'hike' but it turned out to be one of the most rewarding ones in the end. Take the difficult route! It offers scenic views and some climbing. The lakes at the top are stunning!

Nx Dx

Easy hike with beautiful nature on the way to the lake. The water at the upper Lake seems clearer than the bottom lake and the color are so blue. Love this place. Also many rock climbers at the upper Lake area as well.

Bi L

Short family friendly hike. . Gets extremely crowded in the afternoon. Also very popular with rock climbers

Aubrey Ramos - Beebe

Absolutely amazing lakes! A short hike and the water is mesmerizing!

Bernadette Ssanyu

It was the best mountain side lake I had been too in winter

Yash Patel

Magical

Amal Saddik

Absolutely stunning lake. Trail is nice too.

Myreen

Easy and quick nature walk but quite busy. The lakes at the top are interesting to look at because of the deep green coloured algae making them unique.

S S

Good hike! Multiple routes accommodating a variety of difficulties.

Evgeniy Chernyshov

Gorgeous hike! Once you reach the trailhead, you walk for a min and see a fork. Choose the easy route. The easy route is a gradual uphill hike as compared to the difficult hike. We took the easy route with our kids aged 5 to 13. Hike took us 2 hrs in total; 3.6km round-trip. If hiking with kids, pack some snack, take breaks and enjoy the views. Try going on a sunny day to see the full splendor of the lake. Closest flush toilets are at the Canmore Nordic Centre.

Peter Douglas

Delightful little hike. Great for kids. And picnics.

Abdullah Khan

Beautiful scenery and best for hiking. Neat and clean. Lots of parking. Safe to go there. Excellent family points. Very cool atmosphere.

Telson Cheung

worth the easy hike, good for all ages..

MJ Jeong

Quite easy, kid and dog friendly. Go the “difficult” way (there are signs) to see the falls. Round trip took less than 1.5 hours

Roy Yin

A lovely trail that isn't difficult but also doesn't compromise on the beautiful views about an hour and a half outside of Calgary. Unfortunately, as of July 20, 2018 they have fenced off the lake area, so we were unable to get closer for some nice pictures, and the photos I posted are all along the "difficult" route - I highly recommend this! It was not very difficult (at a walking pace) and young children and older adults alike were hiking along this route. We got here around 11am on a weekday and it hadn't gotten crowded yet. I don't really have anything to compare this trail to yet as this was my first Alberta hike, but I would definitely say it's an awesome trail for beginners or day trippers to Canmore (PS: if you're in Canmore, try Amore Mexican Restaurant for lunch and walk on over to Old School Bus ice cream for dessert after your hike!)

K Forin

Beautiful.

Alison William

amazing colors, good hike watch for Mountain Goats

Jessica D

Grassi Lakes is one of the best hikes for you and your family. You can do either the hard way or easy trail. We always go there with company and everyone enjoys the beauty.

Zakir H

A great hiking spot - very, very beautiful. Went for a hike with friends and my dog and we had a lovely time!

Bhupender S

Easy hike and very scenic

Tammy King

Amazing hike. It was very quick and easy hike.

John Pelkey

Nice hike, good lake, playful colours, fun with kids

Chelle

Very beautiful and a great half day hike/trip if you’re spending time in Canmore! There’s two routes up to the lakes 1) easy 2) moderate. The easy is a wide trail that has gentle inclines. The moderate goes over a few streams, and has some steeper parts. The two lakes at the top are spectacular, with incredibly clear water and a few spots to have a picnic and stop for lunch. Also, lots of rock climbing at the top, but for experienced climbers. In total, expect to spend between 1.5-3 hours on this hike. Great views of downtown Canmore as well!

Ron Strauss

Love it

Nicole Goddu

Nice place

P D

This was a fun hike that took less than an hour to reach the summit (on the more challenging route). I went on it with my cousins in July 2017 and it was a great time for all of us, including less experienced hikers like myself. There are plenty of spots along the trek up to pause and take a quick break, admire the beauty of the nature surrounding you, and then continue upwards. There honestly is no shortage of nature to admire along this route. At the top of the mountain, you’ll find a stunning oasis; I was speechless after seeing it, making the exertion of reaching the top well worth it. We had packed a little picnic with us, which we enjoyed by the water before walking around the area a bit and heading back down to the parking area. I 100% would come back to do this trail next time I’m in Canmore, and I’d suggest that you do, too!

Sandeep Singh

Beautiful lake surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. We went there on a long weekend and was fairly busy. Plan ahead as the parking lot can be swamped. Two trails can be used to hike up to the extremely beautiful blue-ish lake. The upper trail can be challenging for people with kids and senior citizens so beware. The upper trail can also be really wet during rainy season and rocks tend to be slippery. BRING HIKING BOOTS. Saw some people with sneakers and that is just a recipe for disaster. We took the easy way down to the parking lot and it was just a downhill walk.

Chris Langdon

Great hike

Sarah Court

Great place for hiking. Bike trails, kids friendly, easy to moderate trails. Lots of parking. One of them most beautiful lakes I've seen.

Allishia Brenna

One of the best hike to visit crystal clear water. Choose the difficult route for scenic views. I would recommend when you return from the lakes.

Dhaivat Trivedi

Lovely short uphill hike. Recommended for the whole family

B9 Y

Awesome place. Must see

Brittany Vanderpost

A short hike up to the lakes and at the top you get an awesome view of Canmore. Highly recomend if you are in the area!

Lubna Hussain

Always a go to place when you are in Canmore. Calm and soothing surroundings with beautiful mesmerizing views. You either hike or drive up to the top. Always great to be in any season as the view is different always. Love the place

John Allin

B...B....B...Beautiful!.A....A....Amazing!

Richard Krahn

Best place ever for take a natural picture

Wendy Green

This lake was recommended by airbnb host.I am really glad that i was able to hike it.Hike takes about two hours round trip..Pretty amazing hike.We will walk through the Rundle canal and reach twi really pretty teal colored lakes.

Mike

Easy hike, amazing view!

Beverley Meehan

While I'm sure for most, this is a fantastic hike. I am a little biased based on my experience as a non-hiker. After being given an “easy” rating, I had thought this would've been a walk in the park. Little did I know how strenuous hiking was. The views were lovely but mediocre, and the place was filled to the brim, looking for a getaway from city life? Welcome to city life 2, the fake hiking DLC where everyone and their grandmother was here. While I must say I did not personally care to go on a hike to clear my mind, I can see having so many people here be a little annoying. While I died on the hike, my friends seemed to have a fun time, so it might just be me, but I did not enjoy my time and almost quit hiking after this endeavour. For those who want to start hiking, I would personally recommend troll falls or Rae glacier for the first time, and both are great picks. Also the lake or pond in the lake made the entire experience (photos included) for water truly was beautiful.

Brooke Franchuk

Love this awesome place

farahnoush faghihi

Stunning! The hard way of the trail is a bit steep but doable.

Gayna Verlaecke

You must work for this! Bit worths it This place is not well known. Very special microclimate and the lakes have unique color from the algae living in. The hike is fair. There is an easy (4x4 route) and a harder one. The hard trail takes you to the waterfalls. The easy straight to the lakes. Take your polarizing lens with you! One of the best landscapes of the Rockies!!!

Hamza Godhrawala

Hiking trail and great view.

Don Kwan

Beautiful little lakes. Very blue. The easy trail is just a normal path. The "hard" trail is more fun with nicer views. Takes only 20/25 min to get up there. Nice to see and doesn't take much time.

Kanwar Randhawa

Must visit this place! Amazingly beautiful! The hiking trail is easy. Found parents with strollers. So, don’t wait, get out and go to Grassi Lake in AB.

Evgeny Novoseltsev

Worth the hike. This is the Easy Trail :)

Saengdao Sidachat

First time I went to Grassi Lakes and its so worth it! Such a beautiful place. There are bathrooms in the parking lot before the trail starts. I would recommend doing the Upper Trail on the way to the lakes and take the easy trail on the way back. The Upper Trail has way better views (a scenic viewpoint and a waterfall). It starts off on a normal dirt trail that is pretty easy, you walk through some spots that have a trickling waterfall going across the path and then after the waterfall viewpoint it starts to get steeper uphill and you are walking up an incline for quite a while and walking up some steep rock stairs. (If you are not in the best shape, this trail can be more challenging and a workout!) (If you don't like heights I wouldn't recommend the Upper Trail). Once you get to the top it levels out again and you come across two lakes that are beautiful and there's benches around you can sit on. The easy trail is just a wide gravel path through the forest all the way with a slight incline. It doesn't take very long to walk down to the parking lot on the way back, probably 20mins depending on how fast you walk.

Mariah Gill

Easy hike. Worth the effort.

Amaya Camp

Small CR pond with some Brook trout super fun for the family

Sunny Hsieh

Straight uphill most of the time but the walk is worth it. Not that long maybe an hour and a half. The lake is beautiful.

Hayam_b

No words, just pure beauty. Obviously you have to hike like like an hour or 2 to make it to the top but the views are just amazing. The only bad part of this are the washrooms. Avoid them at all costs they have to be a biohazard ☣

Shih Michael

This is a must do family hike. The left, "more difficult" path, is definitely worth attempting. There are pretty views of the lakes below and waterfall. Take note, that the last stretch of the path is a pretty steady incline and includes railing and steps. The "easy path" is wide and flat but too rugged in my opinion to bring a stroller. It would be better to carry young ones in a baby back pack and although beautiful, does not include the view of the lakes below or the water fall. We did the difficult path up and easy path down. They connect at the top, so you can change it up as you choose. The lakes above are breathtaking and worth the hike which ever path you choose.

Robin

Absolutely loved this place. Getting there was hard but was greatly rewarded by these views. Take the easy trail, it's still navigable.

Maurana Brush

Not that special.. big hike for small result.

manoj sharma

Pretty busy by 10am on a Saturday. No parking at the lower parking lot. Still a great hike though.

lola lee

My fav place, Perfect for family hiking and boating ????????

Kingston II Hendrik

Amazing place to visit and easy hiking.

Lois Snider

Easy hike and always busy. Beautiful lake and view at the top!

Lily Zhou

A place with easy hike course and nice lakes.

logan schmeikal

Totally Worth it. There is constant incline on your way up for 1 hour but on the way down, it is really easy.

Pablo Lebowitz

Nice Sunday walk, take the hiking trail instead of the service road which most people take. Two multi-colored ponds to sit by and enjoy. Be sure to hike past lakes to the petroglyphs, very cool.

Victoria Allen

Amazing place, must visit during raining days.

Stephan Jansen

Loved it! Great for families, it's rated easy but it has some elevation that might be challenging for some but it's so worth it. You will have easy way up or difficult, the last one is very steep.

Fred Robertson

We took the easy trail. Not really bad for a hike with children.

harmeet singh Sidhu

This place is great for hiking and the scenery is out of site as u can c where I have captured these beautiful photos ,, walking along and on the side of me r these awesome pics
