Hiking
Hungry Packer Lake rests nearly 2,000ft below the summit of Picture Peak, easily recognized by the notch sharply cut in it’s apex, and aptly named what with how frequently it is photographed! The name of this lake was officially adopted by the US Board of Geographic Names in 1965, although likely had been referred to as such for long before. And after climbing nearly 2,000ft from the Sabrina Lake trailhead over six miles, you may be a hungry packer too once you arrive here!

Hiking
Hungry Packer Lake forms a majestic alpine scenery in front of Picture Peak. The hike to the lake can be difficult due to the distance, the elevation gain, and also because it involves a few creek crossings. It is recommended to wear waterproof hiking boots and use trekking poles.
