Island Lakes TH #1842
The Island Lakes trail begins about 1.5 miles up the Hooper Lake Trail #1860, passes Island Lakes, and ends at W Mountain Trail #1817. A 4WD vehicle is needed to access the trailhead. This trail has alternating steep and gradual sections as it crosses several watersheds. It offers many opportunities to take off on other trails and do trip extensions if you have the time. It is recommended to have good map and compass skills for this area as there is so much undulating terrain and multiple trail intersections.
