Quoted:10.5 mile loop with 1,722 elevation. Weather looks good for Tuesday. Anyone hiked it? Any advice?
I couldn't find a hiking forum; is it okay if I post this stuff here? If there's a better or more appropriate forum, I'd be happy to do it there. I'm hiking to improve my fitness so I can hike to even more places.

2 of those reviews are saying the road to the trailhead is closed, making it alot farther walk, I guess?
This one is awesome:

Crystal Lake. Beautiful spot, not crowded at all. We've done this one a couple of times, love it.
When you get to the small firstLake, you think "this is it?", but keep climbing, and you are rewarded!
It's on the other side of the ridge from Crystal Mountain ski.
We last did it in late July, no snow.
Main lake up top, view from the ridge above. We had lunch on top of the big rock to the right. Tanked up on the water with my Sawyer Mini. Very refreshing!
