Description
The trail to North Yolla Bolly Lake is a moderately challenging route through old-growth forest to a small lake below North Yolla Bolly Mountain. The lake has a bit less to offer than nearby Black Rock Lake, but makes a good and long hiking loop when combined with the Pettyjohn Trail, Cold Fork Ridge Trail, and North Yolla Bolly (ridge) Trail.
