Forlorn Creek to Plug Creek is a hike of approximately four to five hours. The next part of the route is from Plug Creek to Last Call Lake and the camping at Forlorn Lake. Follow the trail markers and cairns of the new trail that leads above the northwest side of Plug Creek. Continue as the trail contours around into the valley and heads to the east side of Whitestone Ridge. This trek will take from five to six hours.
Good camping is available in the alpine valley before Last Call Lake where camping is difficult.
Forlorn Lake offers good camping and is just southwest of Last Call Lake. Maintain the elevation, stay on the east side of the gully. It is time to start looking for a good place to get across the creek and up to the highway. On this last portion of the trek, between Last Call Lake and the Alaska highway, several old horse camps are good camping spots. One such hike is to Flower Springs Lake.
