We will start at Bear Lake on go on trail towards Lake Helene. Near Two Rivers we will go up a steep slope towards Joe Mills Mountain. Close to the summit the route will go to the right on some talus slope then work our way up to Joe Mills Mountain. We follow our route back down towards Two Rivers Lake, at that point we will discuss if the group feels strong enough to go the extra 0.5 miles to Lake Helene.
