A short foray into the Indian Heaven Wilderness takes you up the eastern slope of craggy Bird Mountain to sparkling Deep Lake with its view of Mount Adams . This is an excellent introductory backpack as the Indian Heaven Trail is well-graded, there are campsites near the shore of the lake, and you can indulge in huckleberry gathering in season (late August). Also, Deep Lake lives up to its name and is one of the most swimmable Indian Heaven lakes. For a longer loop all the way around Bird Mountain , see the Bird Mountain Loop Hike .
