If you would like to make the previous trip a two or three-day backpack trip you can park another car at the Fourth of July Campground and exit at that trailhead. From the Hessie Trailhead hike FS902 to the junction of FS811 (trail to Woodland Lake), continue on FS902 for an additional 2 miles, you will be at Jasper Reservoir. You can camp here or at Devil's Thumb Lake. A nice side trip is up to Devil's Thumb Pass and Devil's Thumb Peak. The next day you will reverse direction, go back to your last trail intersection, and follow the trail (FS975) around to Diamond Lake (3.5 miles). You can either camp at Diamond Lake or hike out to the Fourth of July Campground, another 2.2 miles. If you reverse the direction, starting at the Fourth of July Campground you can take advantage of descending elevation. Notes. Water is available along most parts of the trails. Wild strawberries and raspberries grow along the trails in season (August).
