Trip
Day Hike - Ancient Lake
One of the nicest spring hikes to beautiful prehistoric lakes nestled at a flat-bottom coulee surrounded by basalt cliffs. The whole scenery is believed to have been created by ice age floods. We will explore around the lakes including a short steep ascent on talus along the waterfalls. We will visit three view points in total.
