Fun Facts

The trailhead provides access to Mason Lake, named in honor of Ira Spring, a renowned photographer and conservationist who captured the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

The trail is approximately 6.5 miles round trip, offering hikers a moderate challenge with rewarding views.

It connects to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, a vast area known for its stunning alpine scenery and numerous hiking opportunities.

The trail is most popular in late spring through early fall when the snow has melted, and the wildflowers are in bloom.

The trailhead includes a parking area with a restroom, making it a convenient starting point for day hikes.

Hikers will experience an elevation gain of about 2,500 feet, providing a good workout and panoramic views at the top.

The trail is maintained by volunteers and organizations dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the area.

Hikers often spot deer, birds, and occasionally black bears, so it's important to be prepared and respectful of wildlife.
