ブレーン郡の湖・トップ7

A short, but steep hike will get you to the picture-perfect Norton Lakes located at the base of Norton Peak. The lakes consist of a lower and an upper lake.

Upper Norton Lake is the higher one of two scenic emerald-green lakes close to Norton Peak. There can be snow cover until early summer.

Nestled at the base of Baker Peak, Baker Lake is a great destination for a short hike into the pristine alpine scenery of the Sawtooth Mountains. Due to its elevation, snow can be present through early summer.

The Twin Lakes are just a short hike from Alice Lake and El Capitan. Both are glacial lakes that are separated by a narrow strip of land and nestled nicely between the rugged peaks of Snowyside Peak and Perfect Peak.

Alice Lake with impressive El Capitan towering just next to it is a popular hiking and multi-day backpacking destination. And for good reason, as the alpine scenery is absolutely perfect.

Pettit Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and a great access point into the wilderness just west of here. Popular hiking destinations are the beautiful Alice Lake and Twin Lakes, but you can also hike a large loop to visit Edith and Farley Lake. Wilderness Permits are needed to enter the wilderness and can be obtained at the trailhead.

If you are in for a short hike to a stunning alpine lake, Titus Lake is your destination. Sure, there is some elevation gain, but the scenery around the turquoise lake close to Bromaghin Peak is worth the effort.
