Ice Lakes is a hard hike in the Popo Agie Wilderness, part of the Washakie Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface out-and-back that climbs from about 9,775 feet to about 10,995 feet over roughly 13.6 miles. The route is rated hard, and the one-way gain is about 993 feet. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. The trail lies within designated wilderness, so plan for a backcountry experience. Tayo Lake sits just 0.1 mile away, and the Stough Creek Cutoff is about 1.2 miles off. Climbers can head to the Lost Temple Spire and Deep Lake Area, both about 5.3 miles away. Worthen Meadow Campground is about 6.7 miles from the trail.
