- Description:
- Since we had completed most of the
other hikes in the general area of Blacktail Lake, we decided to finish out the
1998 hiking season by completing the last hike available. The trailhead for this hike is also
the beginning of the Moose Lake and Lake Estelle hikes.
- By this time of the year, there was
little hiking traffic on the trails, but we did begin to run into a few hunters. One individual visited with us for several minutes
telling us about the elk he had hunted in this area. From the
statistics, you can tell that the hike went rather fast with no
difficulty.
- Blacktail Lake did have a sheet of ice
over it, but we did not run into nearly as much snow as we had on the previous
weekend at Gem Lake. With all the hikes done in this area, we had all
winter to plan where to go in 1999.
