Particularly Special Place
Description
In the early summer, enjoy the amazing floral colors found along the trail to Cub Lake. Have the youngsters keep an eye out for hummingbirds that may be visiting the flowers. Watch for beaver along the way in the Cub Creek drainage. Beaver dams are easy to spot in this area and stream banks are ideal places to look for animal tracks.
Half-Day Hike: ~5-mile roundtrip hike on the Cub Lake Trail from the Cub Lake Trailhead.
Family Friendly: This is a manageable hike rich with wildlife and beautiful scenery.
Gem Type: Lake

Alpine lake with many lily pads in a large basin. The surrounding forest suffered a forest fire, but aspen were returning. Boulders along one side.

Great trail. Lots of wildlife (moose and elk). Not too steep on the way to the lake.
