Lake Minotaur

This trail only goes one way, up! Get ready to feel your thighs thump as you work your way up to better and better views. The hard work is well worth it though, as you reach the lake. This is one of the most scenic alpine lakes in the area that is accessible within a days climb. The lake was named after Grecian heroes and when you get to the lake you’ll know why. The wind-blasted rock that surrounds the lakes reminds one of the salty cliffs found throughout the Greek coast. Lots of great views and swimming opportunities on top. Take your time, explore the foothills, and praise to Zeus and the rest of the gang for such a spectacular setting.

Directions to Trailhead

From Leavenworth, start your odometer after you pass the gas station on the corner of Icicle Road and Highway 2 West. Drive 14.5 miles on Hwy 2 West and take a right on route #207 following signs to Lake Wenatchee/Fish Lake Recreation Area (or if traveling from Stevens Pass go 20.2 miles and take a left on #207). Follow #207. At 4.4 miles, after crossing the Wenatchee River, stay on the main road as it bears left following the signs to Ranger Station. At 10.5 miles you will pass White River Road. Stay to the left following Little Wenatchee River Road #6500. Follow #6500 ignoring the spur roads. At 16.5 miles go left across the river on road #6700. At 24.5 miles go right on road #6704. At 25.75 you will come to the trailhead. Park on the right and find the trailhead on the left. If you come to a dead end you've gone too far.
