WHAT:
Chester Lake Loop has a moderate rating with some minor incline, rocky terrain and possibility of mud so bring good footwear. It is a shorter 9.5 km hike (roughly 4 hours). There are stunning views along the way to stop and take lots of pictures and since it is in the fall it will be larch season.
