| partners | | | Quick and easy trip around Horseshoe Lake. Somehow managed to get side tracked near the end, but the terrain is open and forgiving and we just beelined it back toward the parking area. |

| partners | | After setting up camp we drove over to Horseshoe Lake with plans for hitting two lakes. We hoped to have time for one more hike after this.
We started off with Horseshoe Lake. The loop trail is in excellent condition and very easy to follow. We made the loop and took a variety of pics along the way. The lake was very low & but the views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. We really enjoyed this loop and then headed for McLead Lake.
Along the way we passed an info sign that showed a loop option utilizing a ridge. To make a long story short we couldn't find the turnoff for the loop. We hiked an extra quarter mile trying to find but no luck. On the way back we talked to a hiker who said the turnoff is unmarked and hard to see. He offered to show us the way but it was late in the day and we had our sights set on Lake George and TJ Lake. |
