11 miles, roundtrip
3900 ft elevation gain
With: Karthik and Sniggy.
Lake Blanca is a strenuous but beautiful hike. The altitude is pretty high, that there was still snow on the top in peak summer! This was the first time I hiked more than 3500 ft in elevation gain. Fun fact: after the hike, my legs were sore. I bought a foot massage machine off of Amazon without thinking twice. Best. Purchase. Ever.
