Headwall Lakes/Chester Lake loop

Date/Time
Date(s) - Wed Aug 27 2025
7:30 am

Notes:

The route starts and ends in the Chester Lake parking lot. We will do it counter clockwise, heading up through the Headwall Lakes valley, up and over the col between Chester and Fortress, and return via Chester Lake. There is no exposure.

The plan does not include summiting Fortress.

Last year’s outing was not able to complete the circuit due to considerable snow the day before, aiming for a successful completion this year.
