    Hiking

    Death Canyon offers beautiful, challenging hiking, and fantastic views of Phelps Lake and the surrounding peaks. After leaving the forest above the lake, you pass through rocky slopes beneath towering cliff sides. As you switchback up the open canyon keep an eye out for waterfalls, wildflowers, and wildlife like marmots and pikas. Be aware that in spring and early summer the trail is often covered with snow and might require specialized equipment; be sure to check in about conditions with a ranger at a visitor center before attempting the trail early in the season.
