Hiking

This lake's name is actually pretty accurate: It's quite small and tucked right down in a tundra bowl, so you won't see it until you're right on top of it. That gives it a wonderfully remote feel, however, which is well worth the trek in.

Running

This lake is as small and protected from view as the name implies. It's also quite a ways from the nearest trailhead, but it still sees a good bit of trail running traffic. Once you come up this side of the valley the trail is mostly a thin dirt footpath over rolling tundra swells. This destination is also quite popular with hikers and overnight backpackers, so you might want to consider starting your run early so you won't have to dodge as many slower-moving hikers.
