Outdoor Project

The ultimate adventure guide

Stanley Lake Creek and McGown Peak are adjacent to and visible from the trail (Inlet Campground Trailhead) for the first half mile of the hike.
Beautiful flower meadows early in the hike.
The trail is open to mountain bikes, which makes the relatively flat approach go much quicker.
Stop for a quick view at Lady Face Falls. This is the gorge just upstream of the falls.
Lady Face Falls. Actually getting this view takes some dicey scrambling down granite slabs covered in granitic sand. Be careful near the edge!
A view of Stanley Lake Creek shortly after the first crossing.
The off-trail route up to Hansen Lakes climbs to the right of Bridal Veil Falls.
