Alpine Lake

Alpine Lake is a little know lake on the WDFW land, Big Buck Unit west of Twisp, WA.  You can access it from Deadhorse Lake Rd or Elbow Coulee Rd.  From the ridge about the lake there is a great view of the Sawtooth Range.  We did the loop from Elbow, it was about 6 miles, with 1500 ft of gain, topping out at 3500 ft.  See the RightMAPS!  Methow West Map for details.  Thanks Julie at Methow Cycle and Sport for telling me about this area.
