Island Lake

Lake

👍👍 The hike whooped my butt, however, it was so worth it. We started at 2 AM to summit V2, and then hit Island and Ice lakes on our way down. This is definitely a hard hike. Don't underestimate it. So many people were walking up at noon with nothing but a water bottle in hand.

Lake

👍👍 Never been there but Dave Pallides spoke about it on his CanAm missing 411 project. Always carry a personal locator beacon folks. People mysteriously go missing all the time in parts like this especially in places with the word Devil in them.

Warner Lake

Lake

👍👍 An hour drive from Moab. The last 30 minutes is a rough twisting gravel road, through and along a beautiful birch forest. The far side of the lake is very soft and boggy. Highly recommend waders.
