    Tips

    January 26, 2024

    Cirque Lake is a peaceful lake sitting under Cirque Peak, surrounded by grassy fields and pine trees. This is a nice hike for those looking for a challenge, but with a calm lake in the end to chill at. This is a less popular destination compared to the Cottonwood Lakes loop that sits close by, so you might see fewer people around here. From the trail, you can have unique views of the Sierra Crest.
