Hikes

• Lower Dewey Lake - A few hikes start from here. From 2nd St, head east crossing the railroad tracks and north until you see the trailhead. It's all uphill until you reach the top of the mountain
• Upper Dewey Lake - a strenuous uphill hike from Lower Dewey but the reward at the end is worth it - a gorgeous alpine lake above the treeline nestled in snow-capped mountains.
• Upper Reid Falls - a fairly flat hike from Lower Dewey to the top of the falls.
