Great overnight to Fritz's. Starting at the upper Hunter Creek Trailhead (can be slightly confusing to find the Hunter Creek Cutoff Trail. Take HCC to 10th Mtn. Trail to Smuggler Mtn. Road. Then head toward Warren Lake)- it took about 3:45 with stops. A faster group with us did it in 3:20. The trail was well packed and easy to follow. There are also blue diamond trail markers, and nothing above treeline. Once you gain the top of Smuggler it's pretty easy going. All in all a great trip with a great group of people. Viva le Outhouse!
