Description of Camas Lakes Trail

There are several creek crossings along this trail. The junction to Kidney Lake is not well marked, there is a cairn and blaze on a tree making the location. Lower Camas Lake is a short way up the trail from the junction. The trails to the upper lakes can be hard to follow but if you stay close to the feeder creeks you will find the upper lakes. Fishing is good in all the lakes.

Adventure seeking hikers may want to scramble up the rock ledges west of the upper Camas Lake. This is true alpine country in all it’s splendor.
