Hike to Round Top Lake from woods lake Aug 21 2009

Summary :
Destination: Woods Lake Campground à To Winnemucca & Round Top Lakes

Difficulty 3 Intermediate
Length 6.3 miles round trip + 2 miles for suummit
Starting Elevation 8240 feet
Cumulative Elevation Change +1120 feet + 1000 ft for summit

Final Elevation : 10220 ft.


Very beautiful hike. Out of 22 people who started the hike three of us went to summit from round top lake which is another 1000 ft elevation. View is spectacular from the summit ( see pictures ). I had to do this twice as two hikers were slow and we thought that they were lost. So the total distance I covered was 17 miles + elevation. The conditioning I had from my running and half dome hike helped a lot !!

Great hike !!
