Take a scenic drive along Icicle Creek Road that travels 25 miles into Icicle Canyon on the edge of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Drive as far as you’d like; you can easily get out to explore the area a little closer and turn around at one of the many campsites or trailhead parking areas along the way. The road follows alongside the Icicle River and there are multiple pull-offs with picturesque views of the towering canyon walls, jagged rocky peaks, and the winding river below.
