Climb to Fairy Lake by Nick Brassard

Fairy Lake Campground to Sacajawea Peak trail is one of the local favorites for scenic views close to home that offers a variety of topography and wildlife. This 4.5-mile round trip hike starts off at the Fairy Lake Campground which boasts large pines, blue water, and immense views.

You can expect to cross babbling brooks and scramble your way through the lower forest, up the rocky basin into the saddle between Pomp Peak and Sacagawea Peak.
