Wheeler Lake is as beautiful as it is challenging.
The scenery begins right after locking in the hubs just past Montgomery Reservoir. An abandoned mine guards the beginning of the trail. The scenery is beautiful and non-stop on the Wheeler Lake trail. The first obstacle is not far past the abandoned mining buildings. The original obstacle isn't really that bad.
