RMOTHG Trip – Upper Forest Lake
This hike is thru a heavy forested area after leaving S. Boulder Creek until reaching the lower lake where the views will begin to open up. Traversing the south side of the lake we will continue another 1/2 mile to the upper lake and a great view of the continental divide . The entire route is a steady uphill with a steeper section just prior to the first lake.
