Route Description


From Wrights Lake, take the Rockbound Pass Trail up through the pass (8600 ft). On the other side stop to enjoy Lake Doris and its meadows then continue down to China Flat. China Flat at 7500 feet, sits at the base of Dicks. From there you have a few options.

Approx. 8-12 miles.
