From George Lake, an adventurous cross-country route leads to College Lake and, with a bit of scrambling suitable for a daypack but not a full backpack, to a saddle where your route can join the Kaiser Loop Trail (ssss1) to Kaiser Peak. Follow a use trail counterclockwise around George Lake and ascend approximately west-northwest from the scenic campsites mentioned in the main text. Loosely follow the creek connecting College and George lakes. From College Lake (9520´; 11S 307025 412955), bear south toward a visible, rocky saddle. The last 150 feet of the ascent is a loose, rocky scramble to the saddle, where this route joins the Kaiser Loop Trail (9770´; 306958 4128973). If you are venturing for a grander tour of the wilderness, turn right (north and then west) at this unmarked and unofficial junction to go 1 mile farther to 10,310-foot Kaiser Peak.

DAY 2 (George Lake to Potter Pass Trailhead, 4.7 miles): Retrace your steps to the trailhead.
