Solfatara Trail

On Memorial Day my friends Kurt, Maryann, and myself decided to do a small day hike. The weather was pretty nice, and we wanted to get out on the trail. The rangers told us that it wouldn't be too muddy, so we packed up our stuff and headed out. Here's a description of the trail:

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Elevation: 7,400 Feet
Elevation Gain: 400 Feet
Length: 13 Miles


We decided to just hike about 6 miles of the trail, then trace our route back to the car. It wasn't the most exciting hike, but we wanted to take advantage of a rare day of nice weather. The lighting was really weird, so the pictures I got aren't the greatest but still are decent.

White Rock Springs. We could actually feel the water flowing beneath the ground under our feet.


Lemonade Creek, named for the color of the water. Just don't drink it!
