A beautiful alpine lake, set into a veritable moonscape of rock dotted with trees. This starkly beautiful spot makes a good turnaround for some runners, but if you're feeling peppy and prepared for traveling through remote terrain in rapidly changing weather, you could continue farther and, for the really intrepid and well-prepared runner, even complete a loop circumnavigating Browns Peak.
