OutdoorEasySummerYear-round
Walk the loop around this glacial cirque lake, famous for its intense summer wildflowers and vibrant autumn reflections.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes to complete the easy 1.2-mile loop and take photos of the alpine scenery.
- 2Bring a $12 credit card payment for the Forest Service day-use fee at the self-service station near the parking lot.
- 3Pack a light jacket even in July, as the 8,000-foot elevation keeps temperatures significantly cooler than Logan.
- 4Arrive before 9:00 AM on summer weekends to secure a spot in the paved lot before it reaches capacity.
- 5Wear waterproof footwear or sandals if visiting in early summer, as the trail can be muddy from late snowmelt.
- 6Carry a physical map or download offline GPS coordinates, as cellular service is non-existent once you enter Logan Canyon.
