Hiking – Herman Lake

The Herman Lake trail is known for a great variety of wildflowers, and many of them should be in bloom! From the parking lot at around 10,300', we'll reach Herman Lake at around 12k ft. Because of the fairly high altitude, we'll aim for a moderate pace of around 1.5-1.8 mph. Should be a fair number of wildflowers in bloom!
