This trail head let's you hike multiple trails. I took the Maple Pass, which goes up to the ridge and around lake Anne. This particular trail was hard for me, with an altitude gain of over 2,200 feet, reaching 7k feet at the peak. But it is a well worth hike. I only recommend that you hike it counter-clockwise as the ascend is more gradual that way. So behind the little box where you pay, you go up and NOT left. Enjoy!

We were at Rainy Pass at the start of Larch Color season. Trailhead parking was full before 7 AM. Cars parked on both sides of SR-20 for 1/2 mile. Really busy place on a sunny weekend during Larch Colors!

This trailhead is BUSY! We arrived around 11 am on a Friday and there was no where to park. We chose to hike to Lake Ann. It took us two adults, each carrying a child (age 1 and 3) on our backs about 1.5-1.75 hrs to hike up to the lake and we zoomed down in 45 minutes because we were trying to outrun the mosquitoes. The first third of the hike is switch backs and then a section of incline. The last third is fairly flat. It’s still a work out, especially with an extra 30-40 lbs on your back. The hike is beautiful. The lake is hard to see from the bottom which is probably why a lot of people opt for the trail that takes you up to the rim to look down on the lake. The melting snow left the lake area super muddy. It was still fun and beautiful, just muddy and slippery so not ideal for small kids.
