Depending on weather conditions and snow status, the hike will likely be a counterclockwise loop, starting up the Bullion Basin trail to the ridge, then on the east side of the ridge along the trail to Basin lake, then up to Norse Peak, then back along the ridge, this time on the west side to hook back into the Bullion Basin trail.
