On top of the ridge line you may find snow well into the summer, but you'll also find near 360 degree views. Mount Washington and Elwell to the north, Sierra Buttes to the south, and the entire Lakes Basin area to the north and east.

A perfect spot to spend the afternoon viewing the birds and soaking up nature, or come back after a hike and take a dip!

Down a short path from the PCT, the summit of Spanish Peak offers views for as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, looking east, you can see Quincy and beyond.

Don't let the "Little" in Little Bear lake let you think it's any lesser than its Big counterpart. Little Bear Lake offers you the tranquility and seclusion of a private alpine lake. A perfect spot for a quick break or picnic while hiking.

The Mount Harkness Fire Lookout sits on the summit of Mount Harkness. The lookout has been in operation since its construction in 1930. Seasonal staff stationed at the lookout continue the vigil today and are often available to answer visitor questions and demonstrate fire lookout techniques. At an elevation over 8,000 feet, Mount Harkness provides excellent views of the park and distant mountain ranges.

Take the loop or hike at least along the east side of the pond. Here are the most existing geothermal activities like bubbling mudholes and steaming soil. The mudholes are not visible from the west shore.

The unnamed summit along the ridge shows recent signs of volcanic activity, with several characteristic towers of lava exposed, that cooled off into layers that look like pillows.

Two trails run along the ridge, with the PCT here on the western side, marked by impressive standing boulders.
