Description

The new Hum Lake trailhead takes off from Duck Lake. Both Duck Lake and Hum Lake are at approximately 6800' elevation but to get to Hum Lake it is necessary to climb to almost 7800', cross a saddle and drop down again to 6800'. This nearly 1000' elevation gain (and loss) in 1.5 miles means a steep climb but you are rewarded with great views of both lakes that are usually only seen by mountain goats and other hardy climbers.

Highlights

This trail provides great views of Hum Lake and Duck Lake.
