Rainbow Lake
A trail to the west, near the south end of Snag Lake, allows hikers to explore other lakes before continuing north to Butte Lake. Rainbow Lake appears after a 2 mile hike from the trail's junction with the Snag Lake - Butte Lake Trail. On the way to Rainbow, a clump of thistle thrived next to a charred tree trunk, above, when I passed. Just prior to dropping down to Rainbow Lake there's a good view of Mt. Lassen to the west, left. The mountain peak shows above the tree line, top left.
