Hart Pass. We saw a Lynx up there too.

The lakes up around Big Heart Lake are pretty decent and a pretty cool lake that is easy to hike to is Lake Valhalla.

I'll give a shout out to Pete Lake, great spot with some excellent fishing and almost no elevation gain going on.

Thank you for all the responses.

Fishing, hot chocolate, mountain house, head lamp, BUG SPRAY (ben’s 99% deet), etc... rachel lake is a good one with rampart ridge just above. Pete lake is also a good starter, 4 miles one way. Flat,but pretty monotonous forest walking. Once at the lake it’s great though!

We ended up going to lake Dorothy this weekend for one night.  We had a good time but it rained about 70% of the time. At least it kept the skeeters down. My son and I enjoyed the time to ourselves, and we got to do a bit of exploring.  I think I ate to many blue hucks, as evidenced by frequent latrine visits lol.

Dorothy Lake is a great hike for overnights. It usually fishes well also. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Dorothy is a good lake for a first time out. There are many opportunities out there.
