Beartrack Lakes Trail
Begin at the Camp Rock Trailhead. The 5.3 mile one-way trail travels through a forested environment along a creek about a mile, gradually climbing upwards. It then opens to a wildfire burn area from the Beartracks Fire of 1998. The trail continues uphill through the burn, then re-enters the forest and opens again to another wildfire burn area from the Resthouse Meadow Fire of 1962. The trail ends at lower Beartracks Lake.
