You have to hike up to Gem Lake about 2 miles from the trailhead. The hike to the lake is all uphill but worth the work when you get up there. The trail is called the Lumpy Rock Trail which makes me laugh. There are "lumpy rock" formations all the way along the hike. It is a really beautiful trail. Best on black. Thank you so much for viewing. Today is my 4 year 365 Anniversary!! :)
