7/6/12 - Burst Rock, Powell Lake and Chewing Gum
Lake – Nice hike, although I did not actually find the trailhead, just started
up the side of the first hill which was a bit of a tough climb (found the trail
on the way back which probably would have been a lot easier - its off to the left. The views from
Burst Rock are wonderful. There is a lot of up and down on this hike. Up to
Burst Rock, down to Powell Lake, up to another stunning view and then down to
Chewing Gum Lake and then the return. The 2nd pic is from Burst Rock of the Dardanelles. The third is of Powell Lake. The fourth is an spectacular overlook with Chewing Gum lake in the bottom left of the pic. The last three are different parts of Chewing Gum lake. Definitely a place to go back and spend the night. Total trip was about 10 miles. I did miss the sign for the trail to Chewing Gum lake. Went a bit by, then returning I saw the sign and all was good.
