That is one alluring hike especially after the grueling trek I just returned from in the Eagle Cap WA. Vid from your new drone is awesome! Looking good Blitz.

Yeah, I was gonna go into Burke Lake, but someone was parked atvthe trailhead and there is only one camp spot...so I said ok...guess i will try this Hawkins Lake...I was very sad it was a short hike. Without filming took me 7 minutes to get back to my car.

Nice and easy! Haven't made up there yet. Been wanting to for years. Looked peaceful. Thanks for sharing! Hike on!

@hyoh-wu 9 ай бұрын

Yeah.... Sometimes easy isn't bad. Will be doing Davis Lake up there on the 26th. Rumor has it there is a few 20-inch trout in there. I have to check out your Engle Lake video..been wanting to get into that one...but a few years ago I stopped in at the ranger station and they said there was a Grizz near the lake that wasn't acting right. So I have just stayed away.

Just watched this again. My father-in-law used to have a huge satellite map poster of Kootenai National Forest and I remember seeing the Northwest Peak Scenic Area in the far NW corner of the the map and always wanting to go there. A search on Google or KZfaq shows just how little use that area gets.

@hyoh-wu 7 ай бұрын

You are correct. I want to get into Davis Lake next year...its right next door to Hawkins...apparently there used to be a trail but it hasn't been maintained for years and years.

Looked like a really nice lake! Did you run into anyone? I had to go look it up after I saw the sign to Burke..... not the same Burke I know. I hope you went over to that lake next!

@hyoh-wu 9 ай бұрын

I was just surfing around on Google Earth and found these lakes.. so I did a quick search and lo and behold who just happens to have a video? Looks like a nice easy trip that I’ll have to check out sometime with a potential peak bag to Northwest Peak. I’m curious if that lookout is accessible? Thanks for sharing!

@hyoh-wu 2 ай бұрын

Yes that lookout is accessible. There is a trail that goes up there...I'm gonna go partially up that trail and dive down into Davis Lake this summer. My intell tells me there is a Griz that hangs out down around that lake....so may be one we want to hit together.... I may go up and over into Aster Lake and to Skelly lake also...just depends. I hit the Purcells pretty hard last year....mainly cause I can fly my drone. Lol

@hyoh-wu 2 ай бұрын

FYI ....tons of fish in Hawkins Lake. Tons....I just never catch any.

@DannyJSchaefer 2 ай бұрын

@@hyoh-wu Yeah I believe that with the Griz. It’s only a matter of time before I have a face to face encounter with one I’m sure. But for sure let me know when you’re planning a trip and I’ll see what I can do. Looks an awesome area and I haven’t explored up there much.

@Olympic_TryAthlete 9 ай бұрын

Less than a mile to a gorgeous lake and to have that kind of solitude - other than the potential grizzly. Can’t beat that. I’m really tempted right now, but thinking I’d prefer to have a couple dogs. One that is alert and barks loud and another whose bark sounds more like a 44 mag - if the bear spray isn’t spicy enough.

@hyoh-wu 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I lucked out for sure....as I was driving out the next day 4 vehicles were going in. Blitz will definitely let me know if something is there, and have my bear spray and 44 as back up. Lol!
