ワロワ郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

To reach Glacier Lake from the north, you'll have to climb Glacier Pass, a 1,000 foot (333m) climb from Moccasin Lake over just under two miles. The trail is easy to follow and has decent, if rocky, footing.

Mirror Lake is one of the most popular destinations in the Wallowa Mountains, so don't be surprised when you find a lot of people camping along its shores. Most maps show a camping symbol on the northwest corner of the lake; this is where people will likely head to set up camp (it's where we went in the dark!). If you are willing to hike further to the east, you'll find some great locations (try crossing the creek on the east side - really great camps up on the granite!). Be sure to pitch your tent at least 100 feet from the lakes or wetlands - you will be asked to move by the rangers if you set up too close.

Another stunning lake with plentiful campsites. Less popular than nearby Horseshoe, Mirror or Moccasin Lakes as this one is further in from the trailheads.

This little lake, just a ten minute walk from the junction at Mirror Lake, offers up beautiful campsites with views of Eagle Cap and the Matterhorn as well as gorgeous meadows and a lot less traffic than the popular lake just to the south.

This popular trailhead is one of the easiest ways to access the wonders of the Wallowas' Lakes Basin. A Northwest Forest Pass is required to park here (you may pay the $5.00/daily fee with check or cash in a drop box if you don't have a pass). A vault toilet and primitive camping is available.

This gorgeous little spot on the East Fork of the Lostine River, nestled on the edge of a meadow, is a wonderful backcountry campsite. Easy water access, flat tent spots and views towards Eagle Cap are your reward. A good place to stop on your entrance hike if you got a late start.

We were stunned to realize that there is a small, sandy beach on the west end of the lake. Mountain bluebirds fill the shrubs nearby. An excellent place to enjoy the mountain sun and the tropical blue colors of Ice Lake.

The trail to the summit of the Matterhorn is fairly well defined even as a user trail. Accessing this summit is one of the easier options in the area and provides sweeping views of the surrounding peaks.
