Broads Fork


We did a short but steep hike today. The book says it is only 2 miles up to the meadow at Broads Fork, but it seemed a lot closer to the 3 miles clocked on my Garmin.  Either way, it was about 2,000' of elevation gain in a short distance and pretty darn steep.  Another good day out on the trail.  And this trail was pretty empty compared to the Lake Blanche hike that starts at the same trailhead. Great view of Twin Peaks and Dromedary Peak.

Trailhead Elevation:  6,200 feet
Hightest Elevation:  8,300 feet
Total Elevation Gain:  2,100 feet
Total Distance:  5.86 miles
Total Time:  3:30 hours
