Features Lake · Views · Wildflowers

Family Friendly A short length and a lake at the end make this a good family hike.

No more than 15 people in a group. No campfires above treeline or camping within 100 feet of the lake.

Description

From the trailhead for the Lost Man Trail #1996, hike 0.1 miles to the trail split; turn left to access the Linkins Lake Trail.

The trail steepens, eventually switchbacking upward through gorgeous views of Lost Man Pass and the peaks surrounding the valley. After 0.6 miles, the trail arrives at Linkins Lake.
