Slate Creek Trail forms a loop and was constructed in fall 2020. This trail is open to cross-country skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

It is noted for its well-maintained routes and is best to be hiked from May to September; even in the summer, there is a lot of shade.

This roadside lake is a popular destination for families with a trunk full of inflatable floaties — but you can also enjoy a real, if short, loop hike here if you so desire, in any season. The trail around Crystal Lake also makes a fine launching-off point to explore some of the other lakes in the region.

Long Lake is a popular destination for day hikers, backpackers, and fishermen in search of brook and cutthroat trout. The trail to reach it is rocky but relatively easy, and a bridge across the lake outlet gives you plenty of options for spreading out along the lakeshore.

Island Lake is one of the many beautiful alpine lakes in the Unitas. The lake offers cliff jumping, swimming, fishing and solitude in the summer months.

Shortly after starting the ride you will pass Crystal Lake. It sits near the base of Mount Watson and is a popular destination for families and fishermen.

Long Lake sits at over 10,000 feet in elevation. The upper portion of the trail just before you get to Long Lake has incredible views of the surrounding area. Long Lake is also ideal place for fishing.
