Itinerary:
Karen will lead those who prefer to go slower to the lake with an option to continue to the ridge for an improved view. Susan will lead a faster paced group to the lake and the ridge where, depending on the group, there is a chance to descend to visit Katherine lake a further km away and Dolomite Pass another 0.5km distant. This would add approx 300m extra elevation (ups and downs). Both groups will enjoy beautiful meadows and stunning close up views of the surrounding mountains along the way. And perhaps a marmot or two at Helen Lake.
