Description

The route to Rabbit Lake is a long, moderate climb up an old road bed that eventually turns to singletrack. Your reward for the long climb is that the trail ends at a gorgeous alpine lake. The area is popular in the summer with hikers and skiers in the winter, so you'll likely not be the only one on the trail.

I don't recommend this hike now unless you are in and out before 11am—the sun warms the snow and you can't stay on the snow pack surface in boots. 4mi — 5h 00m
