This lake is so wonderful. Lakes? Sure, Catlin Lake is in close proximity, and if the weather is gorgeous, you get a good panorama of Rockpile Mountain from Minto Lake. Bear Valley Lake is a great location to stretch your legs a bit, and going for a hike on the Minto Pass Trail is always a glorious adventure. Very beautiful scenery and magnificent skiing is what you get at Hoodoo, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop by nearby

Jefferson Lake Trail
| I just completed this trail with my German Shepherd and had a great time. We made Jefferson Lake in 4 hours, stayed the night and returned at a faster pace, making the trailhead in 3 hours. A big portion of the trail is overgrown with 5ft. tall plant life, making the trail impossible to see. I used a compass to stay on course and bushwhack for about 3 miles, then picked up the trail again. It's obvious this trail hasn't received any attention from the forest service for some time now,so plan on using your nav skills on this one. We encountered a braver-than-average black bear while encamped at Jefferson Lake, and had difficulty finding a suitable place to hang a bear bag since all the trees are limbless due to a forest fire. My dog, Sigg, is a good bear deterrant and took the night shift guarding the food bag. If you are considering this trail, start early enough so you're not walking in the dark and bring some good jungle juice (deet). Bear bells may be useful as well. Hope this helps somebody!... |
