Write Up:
We had a interesting time working our way up this trail to Granite Lake. You have to cross Granite Creek 4 times before reaching the lake. We missed the first ford, but found a good log. Great log for second crossing. Third crossing not well marked so we waded across a little above the marked spot. Last crossing pretty obvious. We sat on the logs and enjoyed the views. Saw only 5 other people, no bugs, but lots of brush. Trip back was quicker since we knew where to cross. This lake, in the same area as Leigh Lake, is less dramatic and longer to reach, but a nice day hike.
