Description:
This hike starts @ Three Creek Lake. We will hike 2.5 miles to the viewpoint on Tam McAurthur Rim then continue along the trail and a user trail 2.2 miles to Broken Hand. We will hike around Broken Hand. This small section of trail is narrow and has drop off on one side, so caution is necessary. Once around Broken Hand we will be able to look down on Broken Top lake nestled in the crater. This lake is sometimes called "No Name Lk". We will be able to hike along the rim for awhile and scramble down a good trail to the lake.
It is a long, but very rewarding, day. If weather is clear we will have up close views of the Sisters.
