    South Fork Spanish Creek to mirror lake
    Awesome trail. Steady incline but not overwhelming until the last mile or so before Mirror lake. Then it’s quite the climb. Lots of shade on the trail and the lake was so peaceful. Not a ton of spots but enough to accommodate a few groups.

    Always fun. Make sure to go past the lane at the top and keep climbing. I have not yet gone to the saddle but hope to next time.

    Great scenery all the way in. Moderate intensity. In early August, the wildflowers are out of this world. Please stay on the trail and do not cut straight up the hill.
