Crystal Lake Has a great blue-green color on clear days. The last time I was there it was not only cloudy but you could see heavy rain on the West side of the pass which can easily wash out the trail so didn't even attempt to hike in to the lake. It was clear the other day so we tried it again, for the first time in a couple weeks we had a day without rain. The trail in the background is the 4wd trail down the west side of Ophir Pass.
Years ago you could drive in to the lake with 4wd, now it is blocked off and requires hiking in but it is a worthwhile hike. The lake looks shallow with the logs at the bottom close enough to touch. It's actually deep but very clear. I was there a few years ago with a crazy friend, yea Jeff that's you, who went swimming found out it was really deep.
