A wonderful spot for camping along the Strawberry Mountain loop. Fish swim in the clear waters, mountain goats dot the slopes above, and we noticed bear scat so plenty of wildlife to watch for!

A great destination for a backpackers who don't want to hike in too far. Look for spots all around the lake; there are flowing creeks on the south end. Good fishing.

Blue Basin Overlook is an official overlook maintained by the National Park Service that offers awesome views down into the John Day River valley. The Blue Basin Overlook Trail looks around a lot of the landscape that you look down onto from this overlook.

The Crawfish Lake is just a short detour from the Elkhorn Drive Scenic Byway (FR 73). This is a scenic alpine lake offering views of all the surrounding jagged peaks. On the shore of Crawfish Lake, you can find large grassy areas with some fire pits that would be great for a picnic.

Peavy Trail runs along side the North Fork John Day River. The trail itself is part of an old road with small grassy openings, and burned lodgepole pine from the 1996 Sloan's Ridge Fire. There is no fee required here and there typically is very little trail traffic.

Baldy Lake is a primitive, small alpine lake located in the North Fork John Day Wilderness. There is no fee or pass required for this site and it is only open to foot traffic. There are plenty of wildflowers throughout the summer with the best seasons to visit being July through September. High-clearance vehicles are highly recommended to get here, but I'm sure you'll see a few Camry's at the trailhead too.

Slide Lake is a beautiful crystal blue lake surrounded by cliffs in the Strawberry Mountains. Campsites are dotted along the shoreline and the lake is stocked with brook trout, so if you are an angler be sure to bring your fly fishing rock along with you.

Nestled in the Strawberry Mountains at 7,465 feet above sea level, High Lake is a beautiful high alpine lake surround by peaks and forests. Slide Lake is just a short hike up the Skyline Trail, so it is easy to connect the two for a great day out.
