One more thing I forgot to add. I have talked with a couple of guys who went into fish lake from the Mirror lake highway. They said it is not to bad of a hike. I don't know how far it is though. Also, if you go to fish lake take your binoculars and glass the cliffs on the southwest side of the lake. You can't miss the cliffs they are huge. Anyway, you should be able to see a colony of the rocky mountain goats. They are pure white and stick out like a sore thumb on those cliffs. It is pretty cool to see considering they are at about 11200 ft. Also, we saw a nice buck way up in there near sand lake. I don't think he had ever seen anything like us before beacuse we were 30 yards away on horses and he just sat there and looked at us. Normally the deer are terrified of the horses.
