Tips

Matthew

July 6, 2023

At the base of Mount Oklahoma, the trail to the two North Halfmoon Lakes is one of the most peaceful and least populated trails in the Mount Massive Wilderness. Many people hike the first section of trail from the trailhead to the split with the Mount Massive southwest summit route, but you can expect a lot of solitude from the trail junction to the lakes.

The view of Mount Oklahoma from the lakes is head-on, and some adventurers will climb the mountain by traversing from the lakes to the Deer Mountain and Mount Oklahoma saddle. This should only be attempted by those with off-trail experience and alpine route finding skills.
