Guided day hikes range from nice, easy treks along rock and grave filled creek beds to more challenging hikes up any one of the 1500 to 2000 meter high mountains which completely surround Tincup Lake. Game trails also serve the hiker with easy access routes to the high alpine country where guests can wonder for hours and still be in constast site of the lodge below.
