Trailhead: Stateline #738 at Hoodoo Pass
Miles to Camp: 4
Help Ranger Joelle clean up and get prepared for the 2025 season. GBCA is joining with Women Who Explore for the second year on this trip. Heart Lake is a beautiful alpine lake, but so easy to access that it sees an increasing amount of use and sometimes abuse each year. Join us on this weekend outing to meet a bunch of awesome women explorers, eat some good food, and help us keep the backcountry clean!
**All volunteer trips are subject to change due to ever-changing fire activity.
Difficulty
Hiking
Moderate: We will hike in to Heart Lake from the Stateline #738 trail. This 4 mile trek has some steep elevation gains, but a lovely descent to the lake. We will hike out the Heart Lake #171 trail which is downhill to the trailhead.
Work
Easy to Moderate: We will be cleaning up campsites and reconstructing some damaged fire rings.
