    Grizzly Lake via Grizzly Creek Trail and China Springs Trail
    Hiked at the end of July. Great hike, well-maintained trail. Scramble was a bit of a challenge, especially for my 5' 0" self, but was able to do it without too much time spent on hands and knees.

    West Boulder to trailhead
    Not much of interest and the two places we camped were only marginally decent and pretty cramped. The good part is that there was no one else out there.

    Grizzly Creek Trail and China Springs Trail
    7-3-20. This was a wonderful trip. We hiked into Grizzly Meadows. The larger campsites are on the right side of the creek as you approach the falls. It’s hard to see the campsites. Look signs of people crossing over. There are many but not obvious. There are campsites at the lake. That means you have to lug your gear up the step trail to the lake. Include time to hike one of the peaks, 3-5 hours. The lake was chilly but doable. Most of the snow from the mountains had melted. I’ve been told it is one of the nicest hikes in Trinity. The falls are beautiful.

    Amazing landscape, beautiful wildflowers. The climb from emerald lake to sawtooth ridge (towards caribou lake) is brutal
