Leave the peakbaggers behind on this six-mile out-and-back to a secluded lake in the shadow of 2,496-foot Pinnacle Mountain. “Even on a Sunday,” Yu says, “we saw no one.” From the trailhead, listen for barred owls as you tunnel through a low fern understory; continue through hemlock forest to a stream crossing at mile 2.4. From Chase Lake’s north shore at mile three, scan the water for the area’s iconic black-and-white speckled loons. Trip ID 1227476

“Eat lunch at the log lean-to with lake views at mile three.”
