This trail begins at the junction of the Park Creek and Two Medicine Pass trails, head West to Isabel Lake. Once you've reached this beautiful tarn, you are left with three options: to turn around, camp, or continue (off-trail) to Upper Isabel Lakes.

Bask in the beauty of Vigil Peak and Battlement Mountain while you breathe in the fresh mountain air.

Absolutely sublime alpine lake with a short jaunt in from the main trail. All burned out for incredible views and superb fishing for local cutthroats. — 1h 15m
