Getting to Fourth of July Lake in Idaho

There, you will find a large parking lot on the eastern side of the highway and the trailhead to begin your trek. During your hike, you’ll pass over flowing streams and through towering trees. The wilderness creates a gorgeous background to your excursion. Keep in mind that it is uphill the entire way, so the way to the lake will be more challenging than the way down.
