Twin Lakes From Barlow Pass
starstarstarstarstar_border
Dec 18, 2016
We started at Barlow Pass snow park. Hiked south along PCT, and turned to Upper Lake, Lower Lake, and complete the loop back on PCT. Didn't do any side track, nor walk around either lake.
A good description can be found here: http://www.nwhiker.com/MHNFHike53.html
Powdery snow, very nice. Trail is well trodden, easy to follow. Not much elevation change, even though there's ups and downs, but it's gradual. The lakes are pristine, very pretty now. From Upper Lake, we saw Hood. Didn't check if we could see Hood or not from Lower Lake, because we had to rush out (one guy turned around earlier, so didn't want him to wait too long in the parking lot).
Blue sky!
