Potter Pass TH to George Lake - 2020

Trip Type: Weekend Out and Back

Trailhead to Ediza: 9 miles (4.5 miles each way)

Altitude Gain: 1200 feet

Trail Difficulty: Easy/Moderate

Trail Traffic: Very High, guaranteed you won't be alone

WSH Trip Rating: 3 out of 5 stars:  Easy walk for most beginners.  Can be hot and exposed during summer afternoons.  

The Hike:  This is a tame and comfortable hike although the first 1.6 miles has about 1000' of gain.  If you're a beginner pace yourself.  Once over Potter Pass the hike is super pleasant and tree covered to both Twin Lakes.  From Upper Twin Lake climb the final 500' of gain over 1 mile to George Lake.  There are ample sites around the lake - enough for 4 or 5 groups and they're spread out nicely around the lake.

Camping: Great camping just off the trail on the right.  Also a second great site across the outlet stream on the west side of the lake
