Route Description for Tin Hat Mountain Hike
The trek to Tin Hat Mountain is a fantastic hiking route with a moderate difficulty and longer overall distance, making it perfect for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, as well as casual hikers that are looking for a bigger challenge. The route sets out from the trailhead and enters into the thick cover of the forest to the east on a route towards Lewis Lake. Arriving at the picturesque wooded shores of the lake, continue around it in a counterclockwise direction, as you take in the intermittent views across the water. Reaching the northern end of the lake, follow the trail as it turns to the west and leads up a series of switchbacks to the summit of Tin Hat Mountain. Once there, you can enjoy the amazing views that overlook the Dodd, Haslam, and Powell Lakes, as well as countless mountain peaks. After taking in the views, follow the trail south as it works down a very rocky stretch of terrain on the return to the trailhead.
