Reading Time: 15 minutes 7 Brothers Lakes is what I’d consider an “average” hike, on par with Blue Lake in the Wind River Range. It’s a nice little walk if you’ve only got one evening to spend away from work.
Reading Time: 10 minutes This hike to Lake Angeline, Upper Frozen Lake, and Lower Frozen Lake, is short and tempting, nailing 3 less-known lakes in one whack, but it has significant challenges and drawbacks.
Reading Time: 13 minutes This short hike begins near East Tensleep Lake. The horrors start before that.
Reading Time: 16 minutes Powell Lakes in the Bighorn Mountains presents a great hike for awesome fishing in solitude. If you’ve only got one night, this is fantastic.
Reading Time: 13 minutes This is a high-use trail to Lost Twin Lakes, but I had it all to myself for 2 days thanks to bad weather. I loved the fishing!

Reading Time: 14 minutes This short hike features incredible history and excellent fishing for a rare species of trout. It’s best if you have two or more nights available.
