  • While the east side of the park offers many hikes to subalpine and alpine lakes, there are few options on the west side with Lake Irene being one of the few. Lake Irene is a small picturesque...

  • The lake Irene is the serene lake I have ever visited. We went there in the evening. I felt there is a mystery of light. The Sun light and the shadow of the trees on the lake create a stunning beauty. You can only feel it but it is very hard to put in words. I don’t know how it may look in the morning or noon. But I believe you will love it whenever you visit it.
  • A very scenic lake on the scenic drive on alpine ridge. Definitely worth a stop during the driveway!
