Gateway to the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness—photograph rugged alpine ridgelines, glacial cirques, subalpine lakes, wildflower meadows and dramatic fall color. Best light is at sunrise and sunset from ridge lines and summit viewpoints; late summer offers snow-free access, fall brings vivid larch and aspen tones, and spring shows cascades and blooms. Trails are steep and often unmarked; trailhead parking near Sandpoint, ID. No special permits for day hikes but practice Leave No Trace and be prepared
