Time to celebrate the 1st day of FALL. Ever since a group of us hiked in to Coquina Lake one gorgeous fall day ... I have wanted to return and take the left trail to Fish Lake. Fall colors at high elevation with forest and boulders are spectacular.
UPDATES: Watch for updates on this hike (weather, etc) on the Facebook events page.
FISH LAKE trailhead is the same parking lot as Bear Creek Pass Trailhead (use this for driving directions). End of Lost Horse Rd. We actually start hiking in the Nez Pierce-Clearwater Nat Forest (ID) and hike into Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area (MT).
PLAN:
Event time includes carpooling/driving from Hamilton MT Super 1 parking lot.
