Location Information
Canyon Lake Trail #797 is a moderate 6 mile hike. The trail begins near Image Lake and ends at Canyon Lake. Leading around the upper basin rim of Image lake and climbing gradually to the saddle, the trail then drops over heathery knolls traversing Plummer Mountain. Following a flower-covered ridge, the trail contours around to the north and passes just below Sitting Bull Mountain. At 3.5 miles, the trail climbs higher, passing through many heather benches and small streams. The trail then leads down rather steeply for the last mile to 21.3 acre Canyon Lake, set in a steep-walled basin.
