Ellis Peak / Ellis Lake Trail
The Ellis Peak/Lake Trail turns north off the Rubicon about 2.5 miles past the staging area. It leads to the motorcycle single track and ties in with Forest Road 03-04. Not really challenging but a great view.
The hike from the end of the Ellis Peak Trail to the summit of Ellis Peak is steep but worth it!

Ellis Lake from Ellis Peak. There are camping areas around the lake.
Triva question: Buck Island Lake, Spider Lake or Loon Lake?
