Week 3 photo contest winner is Max with his photo of Coen brushing the White Lake Traverse. Our crew has now been through all the Balmoral-White Lake trails so they’re free of windfall and freshly brushed.

Week 2's photo contest winner iiiis... Coen! With his photo of Max on White Lake Lookout trail.

White Lake Lookout trail has been freshly brushed and cleaned up by our crews. For a longer more challenging hike, keep going past the first lookout to find this viewpoint, then the radio tower, and a Landmark post if you make it to the very end!
