If you wanted to extend your hike you might want to consider heading up to
Cottonwood lake #6. This is actually another route to Langley, with a steep
chute to climb to the west of the lake.
Hi John, is there a trail to lake #6, or a way you prefer to go?
63: It is wide-open almost moonscape-like there. You just pick a straight line and walk. Here is a
link to the gmap4 map of the area, set on "t4 Topo High" (shows the best topo map).
Switch the view to "s - Aerial Google Satellite" (in the upper right corner of the map), zoom in and move around. You can see how sparse the trees are.
Here's So.BayMark's post climbing that chute:
Shortcut to Langley 9-14-13If the snow is soft enough in the chute, that would make a fun climb to the Langley summit. Definitely need crampons and ice axe for it.
