Trail to the top of the peak was inaccessible because of all the snow, but hiked up the ridge without a trail instead. Wouldn't necessarily recommend that, but it was beautiful at the top. To get the best view at the lake, cross the downed tree (if the water is too high to cross) like you are going up grizzly peak and follow the lake around for about 1/4 mile. Elevation was very doable because of how long the hike is.

Wildflowers and views galore.

Beautiful views, but would have been better on a clear day.

The additional three mile round trip trek just past opal pool is absolutely worth it! Multiple waterfalls, beautiful views of the creek and more pools. Great lunch or overnight spot at the turn around at cedar flats.
