Description
Starting at the High Lake Rim trailhead, about 1/2 mile past the Road's End trailhead on Malheur National Forest road #1640, the trail is slightly downhill to High Lake. Fishing is excellent here and there are some good campsites along the shore. From here the trail climbs about 500 feet over 1 mile to a pass which offers excellent views of Slide Lake and the Slide Creek drainage.
