Keep in mind that this is a long wilderness trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Being 10.6 miles long; it's considered a longer hike. This backcountry hiking trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the backcountry hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it. At parts of the year this region sees very little rain, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Now, this is roughly a 1.5-day backcountry trek, so it's a great thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry hike it just one way. The total elevation difference for Lake Mountain Trail is 1,760 feet which is about average.
