Know Before You Go:

• Purchase your pass/day-use fee ahead of time.

• The final 12 miles of road to the trailhead are quite rough and some sections require driving through standing water depending on the time of year.

• Self issuing backcountry permits are available at the trailhead for overnighters.

• The trail between Marmot and Jade Lakes can be hard to follow at times so be sure to have your offline map downloaded.

• Try to camp at Jade Lake if you can - it is worth making the final climb with your packs!

• If you are feeling extra ambitious, ascend the ice-field at the far side of Jade Lake by kayaking or swimming across to get views of Pea Soup Lake and Jade Lake from above.
