Calypso Cascades, Ouzel Falls, & Ouzel Lake Trails

Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls are very popular, easy, short hikes in Wild Basin that feature the beauty of a cascading stream and can be enjoyed by adventurers of all ages and abilities. It is most dramatic during spring runoff but fun year-round. Ouzel and Bluebird lakes are moderate almost all-day treks through almost every mountain climate zone. Ouzel is a pristine lake at the foot of Copeland Mountain, and higher Bluebird Lake affords a view of the Continental Divide.
