Whitney Lake-Cedar Lakes Trail

This short connector runs less than half a mile between Whitney Lake and the Cedar Lakes in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness. It's part of the backcountry network linking these remote water bodies, typically accessed after a significant approach from the nearest trailhead. Given the wilderness setting, expect minimal trail marking and prepare for primitive conditions.
