Lamar River Out-and-Back

At about 3.7 miles from the TH, you reach the Cache Creek and the first two backcountry sites. Plan your trip for the right time of year so you can cross the river safely. Typically after the 4th of July will give you the best odds for water levels to be low, but consult with the park rangers to be sure.Once you cross the Cache Creek, the trail begins to climb. From here you'll go up and down following the Lamar River. The views are spectacular of the river below you! Along the way will be several more water crossings, and you'll be taking your boots off.
