Hike to the Etna Mountain Summit
To start off, you're going to want to navigate to the Etna Summit Trailhead (5956 ft). There's a small parking lot off to the side and we did not need any passes for our overnight trip.

It's a relatively easy walk with a steady ...

I struggled with the same doubts about the trip, but could not be more thankful that I got to do this hike.This is a tradi...

While your elevation gain is only 800 total, you will travel upwards of 1,982ft in elevation given the ups and downs of the trail. At mile 1.75, there is a spring that feeds into a large meadow. At mile 3, there is another spring and the turnoff to the left for Stoddard Lake (the trail to the right takes you to Doe Lake). Y...
