From the Pacific Crest Trail, descend past Winnemucca and Round Top lakes toward Fourth of July Lake. This trail starts with a gradual climb up to the junction with Round Top Lake Trail and Round Top Summit Trail before beginning a steady descent to its end at Fourth of July Lake.
Lake Winnemucca, covered in ice and snow, makes a beautiful lunch spot.
The midmorning sun lights up the branches of an old snag, one of a few along this trail.
4th of July Lake stands in the shadow of a barren, granite peak.
Perfect day hiking on Round Top Loop.
Destination Round Top etched and Lake Winnecucca covered by April's snow.
