Avalanche Lake Bike and Hike 2025
—
by
Avalanche Lake early in the season is a rare treat. If you time it just right, you can bike the road to the Avalanche Lake trailhead, and walk up on consolidated snow, avoiding punching through or the mud. You also might just get lucky and have the whole place to yourself. It was a chilly…
Avalanche Lake Hike on New Year’s Day 2024

With a low snowpack to the start of our winter, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hike up to Avalanche Lake on the first day of 2024. We ended up with the gorgeous lake all to ourselves. With nobody else around, most all of the animals not making a peep, and snow to absorb…

Pedaled up to the Avalanche Lake trailhead and hiked up to the lake to see what was going on and continue to get into shape for the summer. Loads of snow and the carnage of a huge avalanche!
