From Hessie Trailhead; take FS902, and follow it for 1.25 miles until it goes to the right towards Devil's Thumb Pass. The trail to King Lake continues to the left (FS901) for another 3.75 miles southwest. These lakes are all above timberline and provide little protection from the weather. There is a 2000' elevation gain to get to King Lake (11500') from the Hessie trailhead most of which is in the last 1.5 miles. Betty and Bob Lakes are located on a trail just north of King Lake and are .8 and 1.2 miles respectively from King Lake. There are campsites at King and Betty Lakes. From Rollins Pass; King, Betty, and Bob Lakes are short hikes. Hike north on the High Lonesome Trail (FS7); at .3 mile the trail to these lakes turns off FS7 and goes to the right (east) on FS901. Hike down .2 mile and you are at King Lake. To get to Betty and Bob Lakes continue along the trail. FS901 will soon turn off to the right and head downhill; the trail to Betty and Bob Lakes goes straight, the left fork. Continue on the flat terrain for .25 miles, then its uphill for a short distance to Betty Lake. Bob Lake is west of Betty Lake about .4 mile. The trail to Betty and Bob Lakes is faint in some locations. Be sure to have the East Portal Quad, map with you. There are campsites in the area, but no trees are available to protect from the weather (wind).
