Ancient Lakes

So let us go further east on I-90 to a nice hiking trail. Just drive further east on I-90 till exit 149 and take the SR-281 to Quincy. Turn left on SR-28 and then drive to White Trail road. Turn left and drive 7 miles to Road-9 NW and then another 6 miles till end of road. You will have a desert trail. On the way, you should have some scenic viewpoints and I would suggest the Wild horses monument viewpoint. It is really good. You will have an amazing view of a bridge. Partial maps can be seen here.

And coming to the hike, this is not a strenuous one. It is a pretty cool desert hike. In spring, you will see some wild-flowers. We went a bit too early - so we were able to see only small flowers and no wild flowers. You will have a real good reason for the hike as well - the lakes. Those are in different colors and you have a surprise as well - a waterfall. :) If you really are adventurous and willing to take some risk, like me, climb to the top of the waterfalls and you will get a good view of the lakes. You can view some of our pictures here. This is a very good place to go hiking in Spring.
