Hiking
The more northern miles of Turquoise Lake Trail (the section past the campsites) are known for being the rootier, rockier, hillier, and more technical portions of trail. With rocky access down to the shore at the end towards May Queen Campground, the rest of this section of trail stays in the trees crossing creeks and bridges.

With rocky access down to the pebble shore at the end towards May Queen Campground, the rest of this section of trail stays in the trees crossing creeks and bridges. This is a fun section of running away from the more crowded southern portion of trail.
