Hourglass Lake is pristine, nestled in a quiet alpine basin surrounded by forested slopes and rocky ridgelines. The still, clear water reflects the surrounding peaks, making it a peaceful spot to fish, or simply soak in the mountain stillness. In late summer, berries and wildflowers dot the shoreline, adding beautiful colour to the rugged landscape. If you’re feeling adventurous, a steep scramble beyond the lake leads to Upper Hourglass Lake above the basin.
