View from trail halfway up to the lake.
A sweeping southward vista unfolds up the glaciated U-shaped trough of the Lostine River Valley from an opening along the upper switchbacks of the Maxwell Lake Trail at 6,840 ft.
Across the deep trough of the Lostine River Valley, the rugged crest of the Hurricane Divide and Point 9205 rise above a sea of dense montane forest, dusted in fresh early-autumn snow beneath drifting orographic clouds.
Maxwell Creek cascades over moss-draped granodiorite boulders and fallen conifer branches along the lower reaches of the Maxwell Lake Trail (#1674).
The clear, rushing waters of the Lostine River cascade over granodiorite boulders and fallen conifer logs beneath a dense montane canopy of Douglas-fir and alder.
Dusted in early-autumn snow, spire-like subalpine firs frame a breathtaking eastward vista across the deep Lostine River Valley toward the rugged, cloud-shrouded crest of the Hurricane Divide.
Slushy footprints trace the snowy tread of the Maxwell Lake Trail as it begins its descent from the moraine rim at 7,810 ft, looking east-northeast across the glaciated Lostine River Valley.
