Keep left at the junction, still on the PCT, and after 0.6 mile come to a wide and heavily used side trail that goes to the right 80 yards to Deer Lake. There is a very large and comfortable camping area above this nearly circular lake’s northeast shore.

The PCT continues east from Deer Lake, gradually losing elevation as it follows the hillside above the tiny outlet creek of Deer Lake. About 1.1 miles from the lake, you come to a junction where you turn sharply left on Dark Meadow Trail. After 0.1 mile this path crosses a tiny creek in a meadow, and then turns east and goes up and down for 0.5 mile before descending to the junction just above Dog Lake Campground and the close of the loop. Turn right to return to the trailhead.
