Length: 4.4 Miles round trip
Elevation Change: 250' Elevation gain
Season: Summer thru Fall
Difficulty:   Easy
Permit:   NW Forest Pass Required
Features: Here is another great little hike that takes you to two beautiful mountain lakes. The trail begins off Forest Road #420 and takes you through dense forest. The trail actually looses elevation on its way to the first lake.

It is only about a mile to the first lake. This will also be the junction to the trail that you will need to take to the next lake. But take time to enjoy Placid Lake. Then return to the junction and continue on to Chenamus Lake.
