Highlight • Lake

The path leading down to the Morrell Lake viewpoint transitions into well-maintained dirt and gravel tracks that are mostly flat and comfortable for hikers of all skill levels. Because this area is much more secluded, it is a prime spot for photography, or birdwatching without the crowds.
