Activity Notes
Beginning at Marble Mountain, we travel through lush evergreen forests as we make our way to June Lake. Here we can stop for lunch, and sight seeing before we return on the same path. Roundtrip, this hike is approximately 5 miles, and 600 ft of elevation gain. We will be traveling at an easy pace, with plenty of opportunity for photos. Plan on bringing microspikes (yaktraks, etc.) as there still may be some snow present on the trail. The description notes snowshoes, but we will not need snowshoes for this hike.
