I went to the lake the week (or 2) before using a different trail and had checked out the peak, but this time I went around and up the peak, down to the lake, and then back to the trailhead. The first part has a pretty good trail, but eventually you have to leave it to get to the top of Baker Peak. From there to the lake is off trail, and from the lake to the car has a good trail. Since I had already seen the lake I moved by it pretty quickly. The off trail section before and after the peak was pretty fun.
