Difficulty: Moderate
Distance to Letterbox: 5.5 miles RT

The Little Lakes Basin hike is EXCELLENT. Fairly easy trail, great alpine lakes, mountain views, streams. Only issue is that it can get crowded, so go early. The end of the trail is Gem Lakes. This box is on the way at Chicken Foot Lake.

Directions:
From Hwy 395 at Toms Place, go south on Rock Creek Road for 10.5 miles to the Mosquito Flats parking area at the end of the road (the last 1.25 miles of road is single lane with pullouts).

To the Letterbox:
To to end of parking and trailhead sign. Walk trail for .5 miles to Jct. Go left (not to Morgan Pass). Continue up then down to Mack Lake on left. Then on to Marsh Lake at 1 mile. Continue on to Heart Lake at 1.3 miles. Pass Box lake, cross Pyramid creek at 1.9 miles then reach Long Lake on the right. Climb from far end of lake for .7 miles to trail junction sign for Chicken Foot Lake. Take that trail counting 90 up to tree on the right of trail. Go right off trail above the tree to a large multi-tree. Box on right base, on top of flat rock under 2 small rocks.

Hike length: 5-8 miles
