A scenic destination we went to after the Helen lake trail. All of the hike is through the forest on the trail with exposed tree roots. There were muddy sections here even at this time of year when everything, including some waterfalls, were bone-dry. The lake itself and the mountains around it are beautiful; too bad we were too late to catch full sun light.
Continuing on along the highway, we stopped by the Mistaya Canyon - an incredible rock formation cut by the Mistaya river.
