This trail starts from the campground on Bonaparte Lake, and winds up to rock cliffs over looking the lake.
Begin on a carpet mat of needles from pine trees, and then enjoy views of more massive larch and huge Ponderosa pines! Many flower species make up the carpet of flora along the trail, which continues up the ridge and through meadows.
Be alert - moose have been spotted here and they can be temperamental.
