Lake Irwin waterfalls
Follow the road over the lake’s spillway and park on either other side of the road. The trail begins from the small lot on the south side. Follow the trail down along the river and within a few minutes, you’ll see the first waterfall and just a short way beyond the second.
Robinson Basin
Drive up into the basin as far as you’re comfortable, park and hike into Robinson Basin. Cascades with a gorgeous backdrop and abundant summer wildflowers, especially blue columbine.
