**Trailhead:** Wild Basin
**Distance:** 6.3 mi
**Elevation Change:** 2,580'
Take the Wild Basin trail to the campground cutoff, just before the bridge over the river. This shortcut saves a few tenths of a mile, but skips Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls. Not long after returning to the main trail (to Thunder Lake), take the spur trail to Lion Lake #1. The climb isn't that steep, but it is unrelenting until shortly before the lake.
