Description

Muriel Lake Trail branches from the Piute Pass Trail right at Piute Pass. It contours over to the north side of Muriel Lake with only a little up and down.There are several good campsites scattered around the lake.

From the end of the trail on the west side of Muriel Lake, there is a trail-of-use leading to the lower Goethe Lake.

An off-trail route, which is not-very-difficult, allows you to run from the northwest side of Muriel Lake to the Golden Trout Trail or on to the Puite Trail.
