This is a beautiful and strenuous summer/fall hike that is well worth the 7 mile roundtrip and 2500+ ft of elevation gain. It's usually busy on weekends, but once you reach the Lake, you'll know why. Keep in mind that it's relatively exposed in the first few miles (and hot!).

Pioneer Park hosts an awesome Farmers Market in the summer/fall months, Saturdays from 8AM-2PM. In the winter, it's held every other Saturday morning in the train station near the park. I highly recommend spending a morning here during your stay. The lavender and flowers adorning our tables are most always a Farmer's Market find.
