Black Canyon is a beautiful lake but it is not a ''fun stop'' nor is beartooth glacier. Be prepared for high winds and a serious workout getting there. NOT FOR INEXPERIENCED HIKERS....

Hunter Peak Campground
12 miles away
My family went camping at Hunter Peak Campground for many summers when I was a teenager. We stayed at the very large two family campsite, the deepest if I remember right next to the path taking you to the bridge. My grandparents now rest there forever and so do my memories of childhood. I look forward to taking my family there one day, keeping with those wonderful family lines....
