Fay Lakes

Trailhead: Lawn Lake
Via:Ypsilon Lake

Lower Fay Lake
Distance: 5.3 mi
Elevation Change: 2,200'

Foster says to "bushwhack northeast through dense forest" to Lower Fay Lake, but that is easier said than done. Somebody has put a fair amount of effort into placing cairns along the route. Even so, it is challenging at times to follow.

Middle Fay Lake
Distance: 5.8 mi
Elevation Change: 2,480'
Between the lower and middle lakes there is a section of dense forest that was some slow going. Find the stream connecting the two lakes and follow it straight up, including one steep scramble.

Upper Fay Lake
Distance: 6.1 mi
Elevation Change: 2,680'
From Middle Fay Lake it’s a simple walk up the grassy ramp, about a quarter of a mile and two hundred feet of elevation, to reach Upper Fay Lake.
