50 minute drive from the cabin up a forest service road. It’s a bumpy ride but the views are worth it! It’s less than a mile hike down to the lake. Enjoy wildflowers, fishing and incredible views, as well as a refreshing jump in the high mountain lake.

Blue Lake (2 miles RT, easy, 2.5 hours): This hike is in the Boise National Forest, Cascade District in the West Mountain Area (south of McCall). Drive south of McCall on Idaho Highway 55 until you reach the 4 way intersection at Cabarton Road about 33 miles from McCall. Turn right and drive 2.1 miles to the end of the pavement (which is .8 miles beyond a bridge over the Middle Fork of the Payette River). Turn left (south) on the gravel Snowbank Mountain Road (#446) and go 8.7 more miles to Potters Pond. There is a developed trail head with parking and toilet. The trail begins on the south side of the Snowbank Mountain Road across from Potters Pond and heads south downhill over meadows and across two streams to the lake at 1 mile. This lake is only 2.5 hours drive from Boise and is an incredible rugged looking wilderness area. The lake has granite islands, granite knolls and cliffs. It is incredibly colorful in the fall, with the ground cover (huckleberries) turning bright red and grasses a straw color. It is a very easy hike, and the West Mountain Area has tons of views of Cascade Lake and pine forests so it's a lovely drive.
