Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes
Amphitheater Lake lies at the base of Disappointment Peak at an elevation of 9,697 feet. Surprise Lake is its smaller cousin just a two tenths of a mile and about 150 feet before and below. The trail to these two lakes begins at the Lupine Meadows Trailhead and climbs steadily along a morainal ridge before transitioning into numerous switchbacks that ascend the eastern slopes below. It is 4.8 miles to Amphitheater Lake from the trailhead.
