Hiking to Phelps Lake Overlook
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Hikers to the Phelps Lake Overlook from the Death Canyon Trailhead are rewarded with a magnificent view of Phelps Lake and the surrounding mountains.
From the Moose-Wilson road, drive to the Death Canyon Trailhead on an unpaved road, and park your car at the trailhead.
The uphill trail to the Phelps Lake Overlook follows a stream which is home to numerous birds such as hermit and Swainson’s thrushes western tanagers, MacGillivray’s warblers, northern flickers, Lazuli bun-tings, ruby-crowned kinglets and green-tailed towhees.
Once you reach the Phelps Lake Overlook, look for calliope and broad-tailed hummingbirds which feed on scarlet gilia below the overlook.
