Get ready to climb up to this beautiful glacial lake, just below Gold Hill. The ride up to the lake, for the first 7 miles, is quite the slog, and much of it is on some loose rocky soil - the trail is very easy to follow though, as it is an old jeep trail. Keep an eye out for vehicles, as they do still use this road. You will climb your way past old cabins, abandoned mines, and a number of spur trails before you reach the lake. Take a break and enjoy before you start your descent alongside Goose Creek on a fantastic single track. There are a number of stream crossings and the track is tight in places, and you will thoroughly enjoy the well earned downhill back to your starting point.
