Part of the West Bonners Ferry trail system. A moderate hike of 1 mile accesses Hidden Lake, the largest alpine lake in the U.S. Selkirks. The lake usually offers good fishing. A steep bushwack up to Joe Peak offers a magnificent panorama of the mountains. The more serious hikers can follow Trail 102 to the old lookout site on Red Top or take Trail 21 from the junction over to West Fork Cabin.
