Growing up near the Beartooth Mountains (this is Jamie speaking), Mystic Lake was like a comfort food. It was the hike we would always go to when we needed familiarity & adventure all in one. We almost always recommend this hike to a newbie. It's relatively easy (1300 ft elevation gain) and has the most breath-taking view when you come up and over that last ridge on this 3 mile hike. Its trailhead is near Fishtail, MT. It's a great hike for young families and again, those new to the Beartooths! We did this hike as a family of three, when Rowen was 3 1/2 months old. We were also joined by two of our best friends - the power couple that is Carly Loves Amos Photography! Go to our partner page and check them out.. all Mystic Lake photo credit goes to them!
Isn't she a beaut?!! Fun fact: Mystic is the deepest lake in the Beartooth Mountains. Go see her for yourself.. you won't regret it!
