Glaciated peaks ahead as the trail crosses the flood plain of Petain Creek.
Petain Creek mini canyon. A sturdy bridge crosses the creek here.
Mt. McCuiag, 9.462 ft., dominates the scene when following Petain Creek (bottom) upstream.
Upper Elk Lake. Glaciated peaks in the distance (left to right) - Mt. McCuiag (9,462 ft.), Mt. De Gaulle (9,686 ft.), Mt. Nivelle (10,683 ft.), and Mt. Casteinau (9.859 ft.). Nearby Mt. Elkan (9.056 ft.) upper right, rises from the lakeshore.
The trail runs along the south shoreline of turquoise Upper Elk Lake. Mt Fox, 9.754 ft., with its cliffs, dominates the north side of the east end of the lake.
Distant glaciated peaks to the west, are seen from high on Viewpoint Trail.
Lower Elk Lake below. The Elk River Valley stretches into the distance, with its eastern slopes on the far side of it. This is the view from the end of Viewpoint Trail - definitely worth the effort.
