Length: 4.4 miles round trip Elevation Change: 1100' gain Season: Summer thru fall Difficulty: Challenging Permit: NW Forest Pass Required Features:
This is a great little hike that takes you
up a steep trail to a beautiful lake near
the base of the Liberty Bell complex, which
is extremely popular for climbers.
The trail head is just off Hwy 20 and the
views are already great. The steep climb
up to Blue Lake is well rewarded not only
at the lake but along the way. Looking to
the west/nw you get great views of the
Cutthroat Pass area.
This is a high altitude lake, so be aware
that is can be frozen into late summer.
