North Lake
The trail where photos were taken is colored red.
A look up at Indian Pt from the North Lake Trail head at Wyeth Campground
Soon you cross a creek and the climb begins
This trail to North Lake is extremely steep but well maintained
The vast majority of the hike is in dense forest, with outstanding exceptions
Be sure to take plenty of film or digital media
Be sure to take plenty of water
