The Saddleback Lakes offer some great solitude away from the popular Redfish Lakes area. To get here, you will have to cross a stream twice – so prepare to get your feet wet or do some log crossing. The effort is worth it and you can spend a relaxing break or even the night with the view of the rock formation known as Elephant Perch.
