First post here. 15-17 years ago some friends and I made two attempts to get up to Azure Lake and both times we failed. Our basic approach the first time was to head up the Stetattle Creek trail, which promptly vanished, then after fighting thick brush and vine maple, we tried heading up the west flank of sourdough to get out of the brush. After one night out we turned around. 2nd attempt a year or two later we simply plunged ahead up the creek valley and nearly reached the base of the falls coming out of the lake on day two.

There has got to be a proven route or two as I'm gaining interest for another assault on this challenging lake.
Does anyone have personal experience of a way in? 3rd hand information? Rumors?
Thanks!
Jason
