Hiking – Hells Hole

Let's go to Hells Hole! I just did this hike today and it was out of the wind, sunny, and lovely. If you haven't done this trail before here's what you can expect. It's a fairly gradual climb through a pine forest. There's a lake at the end with very mature Bristlecone pines. Because we'll be in the pines trees, any wind won't bother us much. This is a great time of year to go. Our pace will be brisk. When we get to the lake we'll have an option (depending on the group's ability) to continue to the hidden lake above Hells Hole.
