Bootski Lake Hiking Route
- 5 Hours — 11km Return Distance
- Challenging Difficulty, Steep and Rocky in places. Slippery when wet.

The route climbs steadily through the forest until it passes through a burned area. This fire was active in 2006, and burned the slopes on the opposite side of the valley as well. Watch for orange flagging that marks the way in this section.
More Information
There are two worthwhile side trips in the area. The short steep climb above the lake to the southeast brings the hiker to a saddle. There are excellent views of Mt. Becker and its subpeak from here.
For experienced and fit scramblers, the ridge to the east of the lake can be climbed as well, reaching the summit marked 1955 m on the map.
