Description
A little after the 3/4 mile mark, the trail turns southwestward and begins climbing through a series of switchbacks on the southern flank of Ptarmigan Mountain. Following the switchbacks, the trail passes by the remote Lake Nokoni. Continue southward for another 1.3 miles from Lake Nokoni, over a ridge and down to Lake Nanita. From here, the views of Ptarmigan Mountain are fantastic.
