I've always wanted to do this loop and have hiked from twin lakes to Leland lakes...so I'm newly inspired to do this trip! Thanks for sharing.
It begins at the outlet of Fontanillis and flows down a large granite pluton. At the base of the pluton the stream flows a short distance through forest and then into Upper Velma. It is a very easy and enjoyable short section of XC. And it is very pretty!kpeter wrote:Wasn't there a long sheeting waterfall between Upper Velma and Fontanilis?
Here's a little loop that will take you there on day hike.
