Itinerary description
Mileage is one way so you will double that. (I put on 24 total miles) Start at Rockbound Trailhead near Wright's Lake. Walk by Beauty Lake, through forest with ferns, willows, wildflowers, then up acres of open granite to Maud Lake. Rockbound Trail earned it's name so be prepared to trek upward! You hike up a lot of rock over the saddle beyond Maud Lake, then into the valley. The payoff is reaching these "remote" lakes and having a swim for a day, or backpacking in and spending some time exploring! My tracks have some extra steps which were exploratory, and you can cut a mile or two just staying on trail. Maud Lake is grassy but has large boulder areas nice for spreading out and there are some fine wading areas. Doris Lakes are beautiful with great swimming, abundant wildflowers, and good campsites. Lois Has good camping and swimming too. It is not much further than Doris Lakes and the trail winds through the forest.
