...gaining enough height to have a birds' eye view of the world!  For those who desire a stiff walk, it is possible to hike to Winter Ridge right from the back of the Lodge; however, the rim is just a short driving distance away! The photo above shows just a bit of the view from the unofficial para-gliding take-off point above the Lodge. 

Drive  a few miles further and you arrive at the former USFS lookout at Fremont Point. From here you also have grand views of the basin below, including more of the lake. Take time to eat a picnic lunch, packed for you by the folks at the Lodge. Remember to bring your camera and binoculars so you can take memories of the vista home with you! You'll find yourself returning again and again to feel the seasonal changes in the breezes that blow up at you from the valley below.

     Other lookout points offer exciting panoramas as you do a driving tour through the Fremont National Forest, including breathtaking views of the Sycan Marsh. Ask Gary to point the way on one of his maps, and enjoy your trip!
