Timber Lake
Trailhead: Timber Lake
Distance: 5.0 mi
Elevation Change: 2,000'
The Timber Lake trail goes about half way around Jackstraw Mountain, climbing first through aspen then mature pine forest. About halfway there's a detour due to a landslide caused by the 2013 floods. This detour (at least when I was last there) is steep and may have uncertain footing.
