Matthieu Lakes Hike & Chill

  • Start date: 09/10/2022

Description:

This is a nice hike on the PCT and old Skyline trails to two of my favorite mountain lakes. We will take an hour or so at each lake to chill: relax, take in the views, chat, walk around the lake, read, sketch, snack, wade or swim. Bring a book, a sketchbook, swimwear, etc., as you prefer. Please wear good hiking shoes, and be sure to bring plenty of water, lunch and snacks, sunscreen and hat, plus something warm and waterproof to put on if it becomes windy or showery.
PLEASE ARRIVE AT THE MEETING PLACE 10 MINUTES EARLY so that we can get organized and depart promptly at 8:00am. We’ll drive up McKenzie Hwy (126), stop at the ranger station in McKenzie Bridge for a bathroom break, and proceed up old McKenzie Hwy (242) to Lava Camp Trailhead. The road into the trailhead is a half mile of dirt and potholes. We will hike the 3 miles to S. Matthieu Lake at a steady, relaxed pace. After chilling there, we will gather to hike (~ ¾ mile) down to N. Matthieu Lake. After more chilling, we will regather and hike the 2.3 miles back out to our cars. My guess is that we will return to Springfield by 8 pm.
