At the west end of Hourglass Lake, there is a roaring waterfall that spills down from the upper basin. To reach Upper Hourglass Lake, it’s a strenuous climb up the steep talus slope to the right of the falls. There’s no formal trail, just a rugged scramble up shifting rock and loose boulders. Only attempt this route if you’re confident on unstable terrain and prepared for off-trail alpine travel.
