Description
Access to this section of the PCT is located near Leech Lake. Stock users should use the trailhead northeast of the lake. The trail leaves the highway and climbs 2 miles to Deer Lake. From here it enters rolling alpine terrain, dotted with many small lakes and potholes. After 5.5 miles, the trail passes Beusch Lake and continues another mile to Jess Lake. The PCT leaves Randle District after Fish Lake.
