    About

    The Blue Lakes Trailhead parking lot serves as the starting point for a moderate hike that typically takes around 2 hours to complete. From this location, hikers can access the trail which leads to the Blue Lakes, a series of lakes situated in a glacial basin. The trail is best visited from September through November, when the fall foliage is prominent and the weather is generally mild. Visitors will find amenities such as parking and restrooms available at the trailhead, and pets are also permitted to accompany hikers on the trail.
