Whitefish Trails - Woodland Lake

Off for three days and the forecast is rain, rain, rain so Glacier is out the question as it will be much colder and under the clouds.   We take a chance and head over the the Whitefish Trails just west of Town to hike the Woodland Lake trails.



It is a pretty bumpy 4 mile dirt road to the trailhead




We plan on hiking past all four lakes

The first lake is Woodland.  We actually walked around the shoreline but I didn't  get pictures because the original plan was to backtrack to the Dollar Lake trail.  But we decided to add in a portion of the 1.2 mile overlook loop trail.



 Another glimpse of the Lake
 Everything is so green!
 Loved the moss growing on this old stump

and we reach the Loop

An overlook to what looks like Whitefish Lake

and the Mountains
 Almost to Dollar Lake!

and Tucson doesn't waste any time
 come on in the waters fine!

 Before you know it it's a dog party
 Everyone takes a break
 Then it's time to move on.

We've been passe

Here is Little Beaver Lake



 This is my idea of fishing

Looks like this mountain biker didn't make the turn

 We reach the north side of Little Beaver Lake
Which way do we go?

Guess we picked the right way!


As we get back to the trucks we hear rumbling and dark clouds are rolling in.

a few minutes down the road it starts to pour and there is some hail as well
