Junco Lake
Trailhead: Wild Basin
Via: Bluebird Lake
Distance: 7.2 mi
Elevation Change: 3,120'
At Bluebird Lake, climb one of the grassy ramps up the ridge to the south. It is probably best to reach the top of the ridge as soon as possible. Continue along the top of the ridge, overlooking Ouzel creek one one side and dramatic views of Bluebird Lake on the other, to Pipit Lake.
