Itinerary description

On this leg you’ll summit Lake Ann Pass before descending down to the beautiful Lake Ann. The Trail then runs along a valley (alongside South Fork Clear Creek) before you’ll climb up to the Hope Pass. From there it’s all downhill to Twin Lakes.
PS: The current of the river before Twin Lakes might be very strong - depending on the time of year or after heavy rain. A better option is to take the trail down to Willis Gulch Trailhead.
