At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District).

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District). Head east at the junction with Gordon Creek Trail 161 and travel 2 miles down to the trailhead. </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/sandpoint-id/report/place/lake-darling-mount-pend-oreille-loop-sandpoint-id.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

At 6,755 feet, Mount Pend Oreille stands as the crowning summit of this formation and offers royal views to match. From the top, hikers can glimpse Sandpoint and the northern shore of Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Selkirk Crest, Mount Willard and the Cabinet Range. Lake Darling, which sits at the southeastern foot of Mount Pend Oreille, marks the headwaters of Lightning Creek (connecting the lake to a chain of three other alpine lakes). To get to Lake Darling, hop on Trail 52 and hike 2 miles to the slightly elevated site (~700 feet) of its boggy shores. To make the trip a 4-mile out-and-back, hikers can turn around here and return to the trailhead. Continue west on Trail 52 around the north side of the lake to reach the intersection with Trail 67 for a side trip to Mount Pend Oreille. To reach the top, make a right and cross along the western slope to the northwest ridge of Mount Pend Oreille. Return to the junction with Trail 52 and continue south on Trail 67 along a ridge to Lunch Peak (which has road access and a one-story lookout available for rent through the Sandpoint Ranger District).
