From the Sandbeach Lake Trailhead, hike 3.2 miles to Hunters Creek. Leave the main trail and head northeast up the creek. About a mile and a quarter up the drainage, cross the tributary that joins Hunters Creek in a meadow at about 10,500'. Continue up Hunters Creek. It is best to cross Hunters Creek before encountering the willow around the unnamed pond at 11,200'. At the next unnamed lake, cross Hunters Creek again and go up the ridge another half mile to Keplinger Lake.
