Marigold Lake
Trailhead: Bear Lake Gorge
Distance: 3.9 mi
Elevation Change: 770' (net)
Take the trail from Bear Lake to Odessa Lake. Leave the trail in the large talus field about a third of a mile after the trail makes its sharp turn to the north (near Lake Helene). Scramble over the talus to about 10,400' elevation and descend a shallow gully (still talus). Keep an eye peeled for the lake, as it is small and well hidden.
