    Nice 1 hour hike through mostly forest to the lake which is gorgeous. Bit of a climb but well worth the effort. Trail splits near the top and someone has placed a square rock to block the left. Stay to the right.

    Tin cup overlook
    Beware of copious horse shit. Not sure why you'd want to do this on a horse (narrow, dense, low-hanging branches/trees), but apparently people do. Otherwise stellar MTBing/hiking trail

    Sweathouse creek falls hike
    Well maintained trail along river the whole way. Under tree cover so lots of shade too. Starts out as dirt road and then transition to wide then narrow trail. Nice river, pools and falls.

    Lake Como via 502
    Trail is fairly wide. You have to cross a couple small streams. The waterfall at the end is great. About 3.5 miles to the waterfall.

    Lake Como to the falls
    This is a very easy trail with virtually no climbing. Most of it is in the trees but the creek and falls at the end is a nice reward.

    Really loved this hike. When you get to the “y” do not go right, go left. Takes you to the bigger lake, which is so beautiful. The smaller lake isn’t much at all.

    Difficult hike, however the reward of the views is worth it.

    Lake Como Dam Loop via 580 and 502
    Gorgeous! Single track trail, can be muddy due to springs. The waterfall at the halfway mark was amazing!
