Description
Starting from the north side of Loon Lake, the Duck Lake Trail follows Loon Creek south towards Duck Lake. Passing beneath Victor Peak and then Storm Peak to the west and continuing with views of North Loon Mountain and South Loon Mountain to the east, this trail increases exponentially in grade. The final third of this trail encompasses a steep grade across a ridgeline which serves as a marker for the start of the final descent toward Duck Lake.
