Overview
Ice Lake is one of the most coveted destinations in the Wallowas and, as such, campsites can be at a premium on summer weekends, when overnighters have their sights set on bagging the Matterhorn ’s marble summit (see Matterhorn Add-on Hike ). The popularity of the spot should not detract from a visit, however, especially if you can do it mid-week. All up the trail, meadows are blooming in mid-summer, there are waterfalls to explore as you ascend Adam Creek, and Ice Lake itself is a tranquil oasis below the Wallowas’ highest ridge. Some will do Ice Lake , and even the Matterhorn , as a long day hike; others will prefer the repose of an evening or two in the wilderness on the shores of this high lake.
