Getting to the Trailhead at Lee City can be difficult. Road is narrow, and will require a high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle. Several stream crossing will be encountered and might not be crossable with a vehicle—you might have to park and continue on foot to the trailhead.

Description

Trail begins through tall brush and then clears out to open grass and rocky terrain. Half way up you'll encounter a very steep section of the trail which almost becomes a scramble. Its a bit of a challenge with a full pack. Once you make it to Copper Lake the trail runs on the north side of the lake through a boulder field. Once you reach the west end of the lake, there is a very nice area to camp. You have the option to run on to the west and climb Stinking Water Peak.
