Carter Lake is always a pleasure to visit. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this site. Going for a hike on the Racoon Loop is always a tremendous adventure. Now, you may believe that's a heap but there's even more exciting stuff to do here at Carter Lake. Don't leave Carter Lake without first going for a hike along the Laurel Creek Trail, and Phillips Hollow is in the vicinity, and is a good location.

Hidden Passage Trail
 | 17 miles away
Hidden passage trail has a little of something for everyone's liking. This trail with its waterfalls, caves, hemlock forests, rock formations and the unobstructed views of adjacent mountains that seem as if you could reach out and touch them make this a must see and at the top of my list. The trail is moderate/difficult depending on your pace. We started this 10 mile trail at 3:30 pm and finished it at 7:30pm with frequent 10 minute stops along the way but would not recommend this to someone not looking for a workout. This trail can be quite dangerous as you walk along cliff edges less then a foot from the trail. I would NOT recommend taking children on this trail. We hiked this trail in august on a cool day cloudy low 80's. ... |
