Lancelot Lake spur

Features Commonly Backpacked · Lake · Swimming

This is an unmaintained but heavily used trail from near the north end of Sisters Mirror Lake heading west to provide access to a number of smaller lakes, noticeably Lancelot, Bounty and Denude lakes.

The trail to the east end of Lancelot Lake is pretty easy to follow, from there it's basically cross country to the other lakes. The cross country running is pretty simple, though, a few downed trees but not much undergrowth with plenty of potential campsites.

Saw a mountain lion jogging along this trail while I was lunching at Sisters Mirror Lake. Deer are around but keep out of sight most of the time due to heavy hiking/backpacking traffic.
