This is a really great hike in a beautiful part of the Sellkirk range. The upper section is a little tricky to navigate as it moves across some large sections of sloped granite, so look for the cairns. I measured it at 3.6 miles twice so I'm not sure about the accuracy here. Beehive lake is incredibly beautiful and a fun launching spot for lots of rock scrambling opportunities. Would definitely recommend for first time backpackers or anyone looking for a really great day hike.

Epic describes it best. Loved the historical markers along the way. Great views from the trestles and elsewhere. Cold, dark tunnels with shower surprises along the way.

Great views, but super chopped up from Moto-Bros who, as a group, seem to lack common sense and courtesy.

Great track and was spot on ! Smokey when we went through but you could tell the vistas would be spectacular if the weather was clear.

I chose this hike because it was close and I could get there and easily do it in a day. The hike is beautiful with a couple of waterfalls that n the way up. Huckleberries were in abundance. Because it is close to the interstate I think the trail was relatively crowded with perhaps 6 groups of people but it is still a big place so I mostly had the trail to myself. The trail connecting lower Stevens lake to upper Stevens lake is incorrect on the map. The map shows the trail going up on the west side of the creek that connects the two lakes but it actually goes up the east side. I would go again.

Beautiful panoramic views at the peak. Not too difficult or long.

Starting from Mount Gleason down a spur to part of stateline #162. Traveled to the junction with #231 and then up to the USFS road 310

There are five alpine lakes within a few miles of each other. Size wise, this one falls in the middle. Pretty lake—deep silt bottom—normal number of summer bugs—small fish jumping.
The hike in is a moderate upward grade. Spring came late this year with lots of rain. Portions of the trail were overgrown. Water running down the trail. Several blow downs went across the trail, but nothing difficult to cross.
Enjoyable hike.

We parked at the main trailhead, but you can easily drive another 1/4 mile up the road before accessing this trail. It is steep! But, it is so short that you are just in for a good workout. The rewards are beautiful flowers, waterfall, and an amazing lake--time it for lunch! Poles certainly help on the way down. This trail is far less travelled than the adjacent Stevens Lake.

Great hike through the forest. We were here on a Thursday - encountered one bike and no hikers the entire day. Lots of shaded sections. First two miles is all uphill and the trail gets narrow however it’s well defined and easy to follow. There is a trail junction just after mile three. The 258 is marked and this trail is to the right.

The Mineral Point Trail portion (trail 82) was high traffic but the views are gorgeous. Very beautiful peaceful hike with barely any traffic once past Mineral Point picnic area. Great mountain biking trail too. Only encountered a few people on bikes though. Overall, a really lovely hike. Other than the long distance I would call this an easy or maybe moderate hike.

Good road to trailhead. Several logs over trail, but good shape overall. Fantastic 360 degree view

Beautiful ride with lots of tunnels to go through and bridges to cross. We started in Wallace and found ourselves in Avery. 30 miles one way. It’s best to stay on Moon Pass Road rather than the detour to the south. It was more of a rocky 4x4 road. Extremely dusty road when we went.

Such a great hike with both the mountain and lake feel. Not steep and well traveled.
