This compact Northern
California wilderness area is strikingly similar to the
Eagle
Cap
Wilderness in Northeast Oregon. (Here are other
web
pages
of these spectacular areas.) Granite peaks and other geological
features almost render these two wilderness enclaves as mirror images
of each other.
On
the Trail In
Hiking south along
the Tri Forest Trail from Big Flat trailhead, then turning east onto
the Ward Lake Trail about 3 miles in. The hike to the lake is another
2 or 3 miles.
