Ascending Hikes - Endurance – East Portal TH - Forest Lakes
My fourth ascending hike. We start higher with this one. I hope to make the upper of the two lakes but with any residual snow it may be difficult. Snowshoes and spikes won't help this time of year. I have listed this as moderate but it may be difficult with snow. Round trip distance is 80 miles or $24 per car.
