Route Description for Bertha May Lake via Teeley Trail
The hike to Bertha May Lake on Teeley Trail is a quick little adventure that doesn’t require too much effort. You can relax on the shores of blue-green Bertha May Lake, perhaps making the quick side trip to Granite Lake if you want more time on this trail.
The creek on this trail can become a bit out of control in very wet conditions. We recommend hiking when it’s been a bit drier out. Additionally, the bridge is sometimes out, but it’s easy enough to traverse across the creek on foot for most adventurers.
Beginning from the trailhead, you’ll make a very quick jaunt to Pothole Lake. Cross the stream at the east end of the lake and then head west to cross Teeley Creek. Make a sharp left turn at the junction and take on the hardest climbing on the trail, scaling four switchbacks to Bertha May Lake. Our guide ends here, but you can continue a short, easy way to Granite Lake on the same trail if you’d like. When you’re ready, retrace your steps.
