Ice Lake Trail

Ice Lake Trail is a deceptively challenging walk to a decidedly magnificent destination. Engineered with shallow switchbacks to minimize steepness, the trail leads to two Ice Lake basins, lower and upper. Both are rewarding destinations for eager day hikers or overnight campers. This is a popular trail throughout the summer.
