Anthony and Hoffer Lakes

This morning, we drove up to Anthony Lakes in the Elkhorn Mountains of eastern Oregon to hike around Anthony Lake with a side trip up to Hoffer Lakes, 2.3 miles overall with 350 ft of elevation gain. Anthony Lake is at 7,100 ft, we had a little sunshine, then rain and snow for this summer hike in the mountains. It is beautiful!
We parked by the campground and hike clockwise around the lake. Views along the trail:
About 3/4 of the way around the lake, we took the 1/2 mile trail up to Hoffer Lakes, it follows along Parker Creek

There were many log bridges over streams between the two Hoffer Lakes
