Best Trails in Humboldt National Forest

Lots of snow and sloppy conditions. Hopefully it clears out before end of season.

Beautiful hike up the side of the mountain. Absolutely worth the no shade. Cute bridge and tiny waterfall crossing to add to the trail. Trailhead is across the road adjacent to the parking lot.

This is a fun short hike but do try to get out early the trail is hot and exposed most of the way. But don’t worry, the lake at the top is gorgeous and a quick swim will leave you refreshed and happy.

Mary’s river Basin Trail is a nice Hike. You follow the river though a box canyon that opens up into a basin with spectacular views of mountain scenery defining the skyline.

Wonderful hike. Not that hard. Very beautiful!

Beautiful hike. plenty of shade. no snow on trail. a bit chilly in the early morning, but perfect temps by 9 am. very few people on trail. lake is a great temp for a soak. Keep going over liberty pass to catch liberty lake. even more beautiful

Hiked this trail last Sunday (8/18/19). As others have noted, there’s very little shade on the trail, so be prepared. Nonetheless, the trail was quite lush in spots, with a wide variety of wildflowers lining its sides. (Note: wildflowers at the bottom of the trail were almost past bloom, but further up they were just reaching ‘peak bloom’ status.) About midway up there is a nice creek/waterfall you cross on a wooden bridge. The lake itself is pretty. Lots of birds along the trail and at the lake. Definitely worth it!

Pretty easy trail. This is our go to Trail when we don’t have much time and we want to just get out and enjoy a nice quick activity. This year in June we had our five year old with us and 6 month old attached to my chest. we made it a few hundred yards above the bridge and ran into snow too deep and slick to navigate with the kids. But by Late July it had all melted. The Creek at the bridge was blazing fast.

Loved this hike since I was just a Boy Scout. It’s a little burn in the lungs but nothing crazy. I’ve made this hike in no time. It’s pretty much switch backs the entire way with a gradual change in elevation. Dollar lakes come first, than it seems like just a few hundred feet ahead, you’ll bump right into Lamoille lake.

Awesome burn in the legs. Beautiful hike. Pretty well traveled and popular hike. Made it to Liberty and back to the Lamoille Canyon turn around in just under 4 hours. We were moving pretty fast though.

Just took our boys 13, 11 and 9 yr olds up for an overnight camping trip and LOVED it! We were plenty tired but the hike is well worth the effort. The trail after Lamoille Lake is pretty much switch backs the entire way up but once you crest the top and see what you accomplished you'll see how worth it was. You literally are standing at the top of the world and the views are AMAZING. Liberty lake is crystal blue and beautifully set in the middle of the mountains. New favorite hike! definitely strenuous but doable

Beautiful trail! I wouldn’t define it as hard though. Maybe moderate due to some steep sections and the high elevation. The trail is maintained, clear and easy to navigate. Nice, cool hike for when it’s hot down in the valley. Don’t forget your bug spray!! Mosquitos were thick until sundown.

stock trail is really torn up

It is a great hike, with beautiful views. The fishing was very good up through the lakes. The trail has lots of places to top off on water and the trail is very well maintained.

Great views, portions of trail not maintained or nonexistent resulting in having to bushwhack. Did will 11 yr old daughter and did ok till the end when trail got bad.

Great heart starter, do it early. Beautiful views and gorgeous lake.

a great hike with fantastic views. There were a few snow fields to navigate, with the "hardest" one just above Lamoille Lake but still very doable even for this pair of 70+ years olds. One of favorite Nevada trails.

It was a great trail that was a little challenging on the way in but what a reward! I would gladly hike the every weekend for the clear lake and serene views

07/23/2019 Fun hike with great views. Short but steep at sections. Still snow patches at and above Lamoille Lake. Pass above Lamoille is still a bit buried. Lots of mosquitoes.
