Another magical area is to hike up from Lake O’Hara through the meadows to Lake McArthur.

The trail is  only about 3.6 km and climbs through alpine meadows, past the top of McArthur Pass and over a rise to the shores of Lake McArthur.    All by itself, this is a perfect destination, but combining it with a side route up part of Mount Odaray is even better.   Back at the junction take the Odaray Highline Trail.   It will climb for about 1 km up to Odaray Prospect.   For an even higher viewpoint, the Odaray Grandview climbs to a cairn at 2530m (8310 ft.), but this is a steep climb and not for everyone.   Return by the same route and down to Lake O’Hara through the meadows.
