Pete Lake Summary
Length: 8 miles round trip
Elevation: Pete Lake is at 2980 ft
Elevation gain: overall Pete Lake is 180 ft higher than Cooper Lake, at the trailhead,
but ups and downs make for a total gain of about 450 ft.
Pete Lake is a good hike for the average beginner in fair shape (a.k.a. can climb several
flights of stairs at once and a few miles around the neighborhood.) The difference with
Pete Lake is that those stairs are more spread out and up and down and a few miles turns
into 4 miles each way. Creeks that cross the trail aren't much of a problem, at least in
July.
Note: Bring a camera - Pete Lake offers views of snow-capped Lemah Mountain.
