Four miles down the trail, follow the left fork up to Amethyst Lake, rimmed by soaring cliffs. Take your fishing pole to probe the lake for trout.
DISTANCE: 14 miles round trip
COST: $3 day use
FYI: Keep a safe distance from moose.
WHERE: From Evanston take State 150 (the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway) south 35 miles; turn east on Stillwater Rd. and drive 4 miles to Christmas Meadows Trailhead (where you can access Stillwater Trail).
