We did not make it all the way to the lake. We turned around at the first significant ford of the creek, approximately 3.5 miles in. The actual trail name is Tin Cup Creek Trail #96, and it’s a pretty good one. In fact, at the time of our hike, the trail can still boast not traveling through any major forest fire scars or major tree kill offs; a rarity in the Bitterroots. The portion of trail we hiked was in excellent shape and amounted to a pleasant walk through the forest, highlighted by a sprinkling of wildflowers and a generally healthy forest. The first ford can be a little tricky early in the season, but I think we would have been fine had we needed to cross.
