Blow & Doris Lake

A trail that's soft, flat, and shaded—a welcome retreat in the summer months. Blow Lake is the first lake on the Six Lakes Trail, and you can reach it just a mile from the trailhead. Continue another mile or so and you'll catch Doris Lake. Continue farther for other tucked-away little lakes.

Distance: 4.5
Hike Time: 2.5 hours
