We're back with another Fall hike here in North Idaho, and this one was a doozy. This is the Stevens Peak Loop, and it was an absolutely beautiful trip. The Fall colors were out, and throughout the day we found beautiful golden western larches.. and you guessed it.. snow. Winter is not far behind us, so I was absolutely thrilled to get another late season hike in for the year.
To make this loop work, we had to start the day off with a little bit of off-trail action (Tessa's favorite kind of hiking). At the trailhead, one can start on the Lone Lake side or the Stevens Lakes side. We opted to start on the Lone Lake side, and went off-trail to catch an old logging road to the top of the ridge that would later connect us to Stevens Peak. The ascent was hefty, and we gained quite a bit of elevation in just the first couple of miles. Once we ascended Stevens Peak, we descended down into Stevens Lakes and eventually back out to the trailhead using the main trail. If you're a fan of Scotchman Peak in the Idaho Selkirk Mountains, be sure to give this one a check.

Hiking this loop was a bit nostalgic for me, as I really acquired my passion for hiking/filming in this area and it was a blast to be able to come back to where the channel began. Check out my older videos below of the Stevens/Lone Lake area:
