Willow Lake is formed by crystal clear water that comes directly from the glacier in Obstruction Peak (13800 ft). Expect stunning views of a blue water lake contrasting with the rocky mountain formations, surrounded by Pine Trees and a waterfall in the background. It's worth taking the trail to the left side and seeing the lake from the top, getting close to the waterfall.
