Hike Alpine Lake Trail, Redfish Lake, Idaho

Add to My List Check Off

Following the Redfish Lake Inlet Trail to a fork called Flat Rock Junction, you’ll begin your ascent to Alpine Lake by following the sign pointing you to the right. This trail climbs rather dramatically, but does it over the course of a dizzying number of switchbacks. You’ll find yourself wishing you’d counted, but glad you didn’t, by the end. All along the trail, you’ll soak in amazing views of the surrounding territory, before climbing over the hump into the Alpine Lake basin. Early in the season, you’ll find yourself hopping over and between small drainage creeks as they find their way down from above, into the lake and its outlet. This area is a great viewing spot for unique birds and other wildlife.
