Prusik Pass from Perfection Lake Hike Description
A quick 0.8mi hike takes you to Prusik Pass from Perfection Lake and back, offering a fun side trip for hikers and backpackers already at the lake. This hike is moderate, and although it’s short, the second half is fairly steep.
Begin from the northern tip of the lake. Snow Lake Trail, Colchuck Lake Trail, and Prusik Pass Trail all meet here. Take Prusik Pass Trail away from the lake, crossing two streams. The first half of the hike through the basin is easier, and then the second half climbs more aggressively.
