Colchuck Lake
Colchuck Lake
I took this photo myself on my iPhone during a backpacking trip to Colchuck Lake in the fall of 2025. The trail began gently, winding through a quiet pine forest along Mountaineer Creek. The air was crisp, the ground covered in golden needles, and the sound of the creek followed us as we walked.
After passing the Stuart Lake junction, we reached the iconic log bridge — a landmark every hiker recognizes. Crossing it felt like stepping into a different world. From there, the trail became steep, rocky, and much more demanding. The climb turned into an intense 8.5‑mile out‑and‑back hike with about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. Every switchback felt harder than the last, but the reward at the top made every step worth it.
