Itinerary description
A simple walk through the dense forest near the 2 lakes. It combines some other walks already published. But this track combines them in a nice circular walk. The track was recorded with a good quality GPS and I've added some additional way points to ensure you will be able to find your way. For the majority of the track, it's wide enough to walk next to each other and I believe it is very suitable for families but keep in mind that it has a reasonable climb and descent.

Parking
Usually plenty of parking at this WP
Intersection
3,302 ft
Turn-Right
Here you will join with another track. But take a right turn, which is the largest of the tracks.
Intersection
3,369 ft
Turn-Left
This is a rather large triangular intersection. Take a left turn and stay at the same altitude.
Door
3,094 ft
Gate
At this point, you will need to cross a gate. It should be easy to open on the right side of the track. As it is intended to keep the cows in the right area, don't forget to close it afterwards.

At this location, you will pass an abandoned house. If the weather is not very good, you may want to take refuge here.
Intersection
3,812 ft
Paved Road (Left, Left, Right)
At this point you will be on a paved road for no more then 10 meters. Take a left turn and almost immediately another left turn to go back on unpaved road. After that, take a right turn to an unpaved road that will run more or less parallel to the paved road for a few meters.
Intersection
3,504 ft
Left-180-degree
There are a few smaller tracks earlier that you can take as a short-cut. But if you follow the main track, you will make a 180 degree turn here.

I primi 6 km sono tutti in salita, prima graduale e continua, sugli iltimi due km, diventa più ripida. Percorso molto bello, ma con zero manutenzione sul percorso: abbiamo dovuto scavalcare molti alberi caduti che occupavano completamente il sentiero. Spesso ci sono anche resti di potature molto ingombranti. Incredibile, soprattutto perchè la guardia forestale ha una sede proprio sui laghi!!!
