I don't have a route description for this, but just in looking at the topo, trying to go direct down to Fifth Lake looks like a steep and possibly cliffy route. Probably not a good way to go. As you descend down toward Fourth Lake, you can start cutting south towards Fifth; take a look at the Google satellite images to get an idea of what you might encounter. It does look like there are a few rock bands higher up, but that once you're past those it should be just bushwhacking to deal with.<br />Andy.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03697781533300101343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054703443670594402.post-80823147846674934522018-08-06T08:11:03.867-07:002018-08-06T08:11:03.867-07:00Hi Andy.

I am planning to hike from Wild Basin to Thunder Lake, over Boulder-Grand Pass, and down to East Inlet. Do you know if it's possible to go from Boulder-Grand directly to Fifth Lake instead of traveling to Fourth Lake and then backtracking to Fifth? If so, is it meaningfully more difficult? Do you happen to have a route description?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />SamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236964698378673290noreply@blogger.com
