Two Ocean and Emma Matilda Lakes were formed 70,000 years ago by a glacier. There are hiking trails around both lakes which are not very frequented. Keep in mind that this is bear country - pay attention to National Park Service warnings to ensure your safety.

Along the way, you will see wildflowers, open meadows and woodlands. Two Ocean Lake lies at 6,896 feet and the trail that surrounds it is quite flat. In the summer, there are many insects near the lakes, so insect repellant will come in handy.

Elk feed on meadow grasses in the early morning and in the evening. Other mammals that live in this areas include martens, red squirrels, mule deer, coyotes and black grizzly bears.

The Two Ocean Lake hiking loop measures 6.4 miles roundtrip, with a 80-foot elevation change, and takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
