Overview
Green Lake Trail is best as a descent, though the easiest way to accomplish that is an out-and-back, though a loop can be made with Habegger Road. <br><br>Once you've put in the effort to reach the top, the trail on the way back down descends from the wilderness boundary, down off of an escarpment to a loose, narrow, talus trail that switchbacks down to Green Lake. Curving past Green Lake, it changes between rocky technical parts and cruising through sometimes wet meadows.<br><br>Eventually, the trail drops off steeply toward South Bishop Creek, getting even more technical than the top, as it nears the bottom before reaching the equally gnarly Parchers Trail. <br><br>Please, please, please be respectful of hikers and horses in this area! While this is a legal trail for bikes, it is not commonly ridden, and many may be surprised. You might have to (kindly) inform hikers that this area is indeed not a wilderness, and you are allowed to ride here. Share the trail so we can keep it that way!
