Wild Basin Trailhead: Ouzel Lake Campsite

The Ouzel Lake Campsite lies in a spruce–fir forest below the northeast slope of Copeland Mountain. You’d be hard pressed to find many people here or on the trail save for a few anglers above Calypso Cascades and a smattering of hikers. Constantly thundering waterfalls and cascades along the creeks, especially during spring runoff, are impressive sights and sounds you’ll encounter along the entire route. Outstanding Features: Waterfalls and water cascades: Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls; privacy, alpine lake
