SPINEBACK: Use caution where the trail is damaged and follow the flagging tape to access the trail.  Our trail crew will be working on improving that section of the trail. See you out there!  At the first bench you will encounter a lot of Hover flies.  They mimic yellow-jackets but cannot sting.  They hover and like hanging around people.    

GOLDILOCKS LOOP (Via Spineback trail): Expect a few patches of snow hiding sections of the trail.  If you are scrambling, you are off trail.  Look for the blue spray paint dots.   *Recommended in August and September.  

TAMARACK TRAIL AND THE VIEWPOINT: TRAIL OF THE WEEK!  The trail is in good shape.  Lot’s of loose rocks were cleared from the trail in the rock garden.  Snap a photo at its “iconic photo spot #10”, tag @islandlakelodge in your post on Instagram & show your Bear Bistro server to receive a $27 Burger + Beer Deal!  

BALDY LOOP: We recommend starting this hike using the trailhead at the bottom of the Red Eagle Lodge.  The trail is in good shape.
