This is a Monday trip in an attempt to avoid crowds. Sloan Lake is along the popular route up Handies Peak. The elevation at the trailhead is 11,600 feet and the lake is at 13,000 feet. The trail climbs almost 1,400 feet in the 1.6 miles to the lake. This is a strenuous hike. Experienced hikers recommended. Weather permitting. More details to come.
