The first bit of this hike is through the tall dry grass. Lot's of moths and lizards to be seen. About 15 minutes in, you get some nice shade from tree cover along the mountainside and you can hear the distant rumble of flowing water. Thirty minutes (~1.2 miles) in there's a beautiful creek and small waterfall. You can carefully climb down to the creek and splash the cold water on your face to cool off (also a great picture moment). After the waterfall, the trail gets considerably steeper - proceed with caution - and winds deeper into the mountains (away from Lake Chelan). We didn't hike to a final destination but turned around when we came across a black bear about 1.6 miles in. Along with the bear, we saw some cat scat, dozens of chipmunks, and lots of songbirds along the trail. It was a beautiful sunny day hike and we'll definitely go again.

We turned up Shady Pass Rd from 25 Mile Creek State Park. We parked near the "North Fork 25 Mile Creek" sign along the dirt road (NF-5900), then hiked about 100 ft further up the road to the trailhead labeled "Lone Peak Trail".
