Features:

This hike is a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. It begins at the trailhead near White Pass, where the PCT crosses US Hwy 12. The hike is a moderate hike that climbs gently to first Deer Lake and then on to Sand Lake. The majority of the hike is in heavily forested areas.

After the first mile, you will come to the junction of the Oak Meadow Trail on your right. About a mile past that junction, you will come to a trail on your left that will take you to Deer Lake.

In another half mile you will come to a clearing, where Sand Lake is located. There are several excellent areas to approach the lake and even walk around it.
