Running
There are stone circles at a few different campsites scattered by the trailhead. This is a fantastic spot to camp, the views across the reservoir are amazing, and there are fish in the creek. If you are running up to the CDT you can make a loop and hit up a bunch of alpine lakes for a long day out. To avoid most of the vert, turn around at the scenic Black Lake junction/viewpoint.
