Treasure Lakes/Little Lakes Valley
I am curious about Treasure Lakes in Little Lakes Valley, their outlet seems to run to Long Lake - is this a doable cross country hike for someone without cross country experience but very familiar with the area? Is there a use trail from Gem or Long Lake? Strenuous? I am 64, a woman, generally hike only with my dog and don't want to scramble over too many rocks.

Unfortunately, there is no use trail from either the Gems or Long that I am aware of. You have to cross country from either one of those lakes. I've only ever gone up from Long and there's about 1/4 mile of tallus to cross on your way up. Gem has less of that to deal with, but is steeper (I usually come down that way).
Here's a picture looking down the rocks from about half way up:

Hi Jessegooddog,
This is better than a route description, from the photo's you can see the conditions
around the lakes in question. Hope it helps.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
