Popular trails - Camp Lake, Bear Lake

Max overnight stay = 1 night at trailhead (other nearby THs are Bell Meadow & Gianelli), and dispersed camping is allowed. Medium sized parking lot, plus a few back-in sites. Popular with hikers/ backpackers & horses. 3 mi RT to Camp Lake, 8 to Bear Lake. I will try Lilly Lake next time. Good places for swimming.

SiteParked in the main lot (horse trailers Im most of the back-in sites).
