I was up in the Lakes Basin area helping a grad school friend of mine with his dissertation research about whitebark pine ecology. We set up base camp near Horseshoe Lake, and then hiked an unmarked, but altogether existent trail up to Razz Lake. It isn't as well worn as some of the other trails, but it is still pretty easy to follow. The trail itself diverges from the primary trail that runs along the north side of Horseshoe Lake, and, if I recall correctly, went northwest, then cut back to the northeast, before heading fairly directly north towards Razz. I would describe it as a moderately difficult hike, if only because of the grade at a few points. It was definitely worth it, though, as the lake was beautifully clear and full of easily visible trout, and the view, both of the mountains and the basin were spectacular. Plus, it's always nice to get a little further off the beaten trail. When we went, the grad school friend of mine did bring a GPS, and I could ask him if he still has the route we took stored somewhere if you like. Just let me know.

This massive log had fallen across the stream that runs out of the experimental forest.
