I will confess I only made it to Lake Helen due to several factors. The elevation I had difficulty adjusting to but mainly poor preparation on my part . I didn't anticipate the terrain (last wooded part before Lake Helen) to be that difficult. I overpacked. I backed too heavily as well. I'm "guessing" the hike was 5 1/2 to 6 miles ( halfway around Lake Helen. Would appreciate any concrete number on that. It took my son 4 hours while taking pics and took me 7 and 3/4's hours.
That said and a bit wiser I plan to return in May or June with all 3 sons. I am 64 and in fair health. My lack of complete (new hiker) complete research,preparation made it more difficult than it had to be. The vistas,scenery and quiet was incredible.
I'll be seeing you at Mistymoon Lake, the waterfall and " potentially the summit soon.
Beautiful, breathtaking and the 20 people we encountered were very , very friendly.
