Set into the rugged alpine terrain of Mount Arrowsmith, Jewel Lake is a pristine mountain basin with clear water and sweeping views of the surrounding ridges. Accessed via the Saddle Trail, the approach passes through old-growth forest, crosses a ridge, then descends into this remote lake basin where trail conditions get steeper and less defined. It’s a rewarding stop for those comfortable with moderate elevation and some scrambling.
