Moderate 8.6 mi out and back 2,192 ft elevation gain Hiked 6/4/25
An easy hike to a beautiful lake combined with a steep hike to the fabulous views from Paget Lookout. The trail splits at about halfway to each so could be isolated. Lookout trail is steep but well maintained and a scramble to Paget Peak could be added, ranger said it was a week or two from being ready, but I did see one group continue on at the time. Amazing views of Cathedral mountain as well as Divide mountain and Mt Whyte and the surrounding area.
A Trail view cutting across the steep slope of Paget mountain that shows the Cathedral mountains to the right. This is the only level section of the Lookout section and it is short lived.
The rear side of the lake has one section that passes through a washout. Trail may be seen wrapping around the beautiful lakeside with Cathedral mountain off in the distance.
Looking across the stunning waters of Sherbrooke lake towards the avalanche zone of Mt Ogden, currently a waterslide.
So pretty. Almost Alpine
Yeah, a lot of areas that were still sub-alpine still gave off that vibe. I swear one of the lakes I drove past in the Mt Robson area west of Jasper had an alpine looking lake at like 3k ft.
