Description

This is a nice trail for those looking to see flowering meadows and alpine lakes. The Grizzly Lake Trail starts near town and follows a creek for a while, then crosses a rocky area where there are large and small rocks that require some navigation to get around. Next, the trail winds through alpine terrain and ends on a small hillside overlooking Grizzly Lake. The trail is about 3.6 miles in length, with an elevation gain of about 1,300 feet. Off-road vehicles are allowed to access the trail/road, so hikers should be aware that they might have to deal with vehicle traffic en route to the lake.
