Location Information
The Crystal Lake Trail is an old jeep trial that has been closed to motor vehicles and is steep for most of the way to Crystal Lake. At the lake, there is an old cabin which can be used as a shelter. Past the intersection with the Larson Lakes Trail, one enters the Big Blue Wilderness.
