Lake of the Angels via Putvin Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Some pretty steep parts, and relentless uphill for much of the trail. Many guides warn of a "vertical" section. Really, it's just a very tiny section with a massive root to use to get up a Class 2 scramble. Really nice swampy meadows along the trail. Lush, green forests. Lake of the Angels is gorgeous.

Hire me or show me some love!

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!
