But wait, there's more amusing things to do in the Wind River Range. The scenery at Divide Dam in the vicinity of Lightning Lakes is stunning, and it's a perfect idea to pop by Halls Creek. So much fun stuff close to Lightning Lakes, absolutely phenomenal. Lightning Lakes is a delightful site to visit for more than one day, Scab Creek Campground is a delightful site to camp nearby, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Scab Sage Trail.

| | Lakes is frequently a reasonably dried out spot; of all the months in a year May is the one with the most rain while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Wind River Range. Paddling on Pole Creek is so much fun, and whitewater paddling is nice on Boulder Creek. Lakes? Sure, Divide Lake is close by; you can have a fine hiking adventure along the Lowline Trail. This lake is so wonderful.

lake is one of the great places here in the Wind River Range. Summertime highs at Lightning Lakes mostly tend to be in the 70's, and all through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. High temperatures throughout the winter are
normally in the 20's; after the sun is down throughout the wintertime temperatures at Lightning Lakes plunge into the-10's. Best Western Pinedale Inn is a nice place to get some rest, and there are other spots here than Lightning
Lakes, for example Divide Reservoir.
This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Sage Basin Trail is glorious fun. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Lightning Lakes has to offer, you can camp at Boulder Campground.

Scab Lake Trail
 | scab lake trail is not one for the weak, it is a hard climb with outstanding rewards of beauty & huge high powered brilliantly colored brook trout up to 6 lbs that we know of in scab lake! oh almost forgot the last time I went was July 5 it snowed at scab 18 plus inches, I hope that I remembered to tell that the 11 mile trail to the scab lake is a hard hard climb, I have only made it 3 times to the lake thanks Allen Eagle concrete worker & stock car racer Jackson Hole... |
Hay Pass Trail
| 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?... |
Ice Lakes

I went up there 15 years ago and just got back from another week this last weekend....the fishing was much, much better in the past. I think the WY Game and Fish spends all their golden trout stocking funds on wolves now. The stocking ended the year the wolves were reintroduced.........Hmmm, isn't that interesting! Also....too many llamas and horses bringing the light-weights up the mountain to clutter the place this time....the trails looked like a lost group of Custard's cavalry must still be riding the trails. :( But the beauty of the area will always remain. Thank you, Lord, for your beautiful handiwork.... |
