For those who continue past Upper Silvis Lake, the spur trail to Mount Mahoney is a popular side trip. However, if you continue straight you can also link the Silvis Lakes Trail to the Deer Mountain Trail, for an alpine traverse of about 14 miles one-way. This traverse is a notoriously challenging route, suitable only for experienced hikers who are prepared to be self-sufficient in the face of unpredictable weather, limited navigation aids, poor visibility, and wildlife encounters.
