With views of Snowdon Peak and other summits in the Weminuche Wilderness from the parking lot and waterside hiking along the banks of the lake, the Andrew Lake Trail loop around the alpine reservoir is a diverse nature trail that's shorter than the other wilderness trails connected to the same trailhead.

Mid-August the meadows and trail sides were a-bloom with Mountain Gentian, Fringed Gentian, and Agueweed (a species of dwarf gentian. Fireweed, lilac Fleabane, white Achillea were also in bloom. Views to the west include Engineer Mountain, Grand Turk, Bear Mountain, Sultan Mountain and more. Beautiful!
