Kibbie Lake is reachable in early spring/summer, but expect lots of mosquitos. Get here in August for hot weather that makes for phenomenal swimming.

It is incredibly difficult to get around the east side of Kibbie Lake from where the trail drops you.

Backpacked this loop counter-clockwise over the weekend. Had to do some bushwhacking and use GPS to locate the trail at times, but otherwise fantastic
