Parking at the trailhead is limited so we’ll want to carpool to the extent of taking as few cars as possible to the trailhead.
The first 3 miles is a fairly flat walk on the decommissioned Carbon River Road. Then it turns right onto the Green Lake Trail where most of the elevation is gained in the final 1.8 miles to Green Lake. Features include: trail through the ancient Douglas Fir of the Carbon River Rainforest, view of Ranger Falls, and Lunch at Green Lake.
Refreshments at a local establishments after the hike is anticipated.
