Square Top Lakes

Square Top Lakes aren't actually within the Mount Evans Wilderness, but they're "right across the street", so it's close enough for me.

Pea Ridge National Military Park

At Pea Ridge, 16,500 Rebels attacked 10,500 Union soldiers. The Union general was expecting an attack from the south, so he arranged his front accordingly, with his field hospital, supplies, and so forth to the north. But the rebels made an audacious maneuver and attacked from the north. General Curtis had just enough time to completely rearrange his troops – no small task. The Union won. Confederate casualties were about double that of the Union. Missouri was never again threatened.

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.
