| | Lake; it's close by; the Ink Wells Trail offers hiking at its best. At Don Lake through the warmest time of the year highs are in the 80's, and through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. High temperatures during the wintertime are normally in the 30's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Don Lake temperatures descend to the 10's. But wait, there's more exciting stuff to do in the Wind River Range. Nearby lakes? Sure, Echo Lake is near Don Lake.

That right there is plenty already, but it goes on; Don Lake has it all. Best Western Pinedale Inn is a great place to get some rest, and there's whitewater on Wind River for all you adrenaline rush seekers. Why not take a refreshing
hike along the Dry Creek Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Longhorn RV & Motel is a great spot to camp. Having a pleasant time in the Wind River Range is painless. Circle Up Camper Court Shop is a good campground nearby, and get your pulse rate up on the great whitewater of Bull Lake Creek.

Hay Pass Trail
 | 12 miles away
I backpacked over Hay Pass (from Boulder Lake Trailhead to to Golden Lakes) last July 25. Easy ascent to pass except for stream crossings, trail gets faint for about 1/4 mi.above Dennis Lake (quite a view down to the lake. At the outlet of the unnamed lake (Beth Lake???) below the pass on the west side (at head of North Fk Boulder Cr.) water was high & swift, so I routed eastward around to the head of the lake crossing 2 inlet streams where they braid apart. through thick willows- a slow deal, but better than hip-deep swift water at the outlet. Great cutthroat fishing at Victor Lake (on fish to 19) during a hail storm. Guess the fish thought the hail was a swarm of bugs. Saw nobody else from Victor lk. to Golden Lks and back (3 days). Not the most spectacular scenery in the range (peaks are mostly round-topped, not like the jagged peaks to the north or south), but no people and great fishing (Golden Lakes had lots of 14 goldens but they were not biting- typical of goldens). Going in again this July, only farther this time, north of Golden Lakes. Anybody going that way?... |
Suicide Lake

Had some excellent fishing for brook & cutthroat trout at Suicide Lake in August '05. The fishing was so hot I caught 2 at once.... |
Ross Lake Trail
| 13 miles away
In four days four of us caught 13 fish over 20 inches and 27 fish overall, none of which were less than 14 inches. Campsites are plentiful and established. Great views of other mountain lakes beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The trail is very nice and well marked the entire way. All the climbing is worth every minute once you see the lake....Ross Lake wasn't worth the trip. Horrible fishing and rough trail. I'd recommend other destinations over Ross Lake. Lots of the forest in the area has burned and is not very scenic.... |
Triangle Lake
| 15 miles away
This lake is almost impossible to get to. I have been within two miles of the lake and can't get to it because of the dangers that surround it. There are cliffs and the trail to the lake is a slippery waterfall.... |
