About Pinnacle Lake Trail Head
Altitude: 1900 m, Elevation Gain; 420 m, Hiking Time: +/- 5hrs, Hiking Distance: 6.2 km.
The first 3 km is fairly level and very marshy then ascends following Railroad Creek. As it levels off it still parallels the creek until you reach the lake. In the early part of the summer there are spectacular waterfalls from the surrounding steep cliffs cascading into the lake. There is an optional steep scramble on the left side of the lake to the saddle and South Pinnacle that require more expertise in climbing.
