Hidden Lake lies right-smack at the base of Warrior Peaks in the Cirque of the Towers. Its name comes from the fact that its not visible from the lower parts of the cirque. But this turquoise colored gem can be seen from Jackass Pass and we could see it from our camp high on the southern rim of the cirque. The route we took to get to the lake had us scaling the edge of the waterfall that forms Hidden Lake’s outlet and hopping over, through and even under some of the giant, granite boulders that form the moraine hiding the lake. Most of the lake is surrounded by this rocky terrain, but there is a small patch of tundra on the lake’s south side. And it offers incredible morning views of Pylon and Watchtower Peaks, as well as Wolfs Head and Pingora seen here…
