Amid vast sagebrush steppes, this rugged range surprises with clear subalpine lakes, rushing streams, pristine meadows, and rocky ridges. Four beautiful trout-stocked lakes sit nestled in cirques, surrounded by rare whitebark and limber pines, quaking aspens, and mountain mahogany. In fall, the hills explode with vibrant color. The trails wind between the lakes, offering scenic vistas and excellent opportunities to spot antelope, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and a variety of birds. Other Information • Motor vehicles permitted on designated routes only. • Primitive campgrounds are available near the lakes in aspen groves. • Day hiking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, and rock climbing are also popular. A peaceful and stunning mountain escape that feels far removed from the rest of the world.
