Moderate hike around a beautiful lake. This trail can also be biked. It is cold but swimmable, and perfect for capturing beautiful pictures.

This is one of the hardest hikes we have done to date. Very steep and challenging, and an awesome workout. Would not recommend for beginner hikers. Sturdy shoes are a must. Bring plenty of water and snacks. The views at the top are surreal and if you really want to cool off, Wedgemount Lake is the perfect place to take a quick dip.

If you're looking for a hike that is close-by, minimally crowded, and does not require a trip up the gondola - this is the trail for you! The lake is warm in the summer and perfect for a swim. There are many trails around this area including Crater Rim Trail and Loggers Lake Trail that are a great way to spend the day.
