After the descent to the junction of the Falls Fork trail, the Hiline Trail passes through a burn area - Not Much Fun hiking - hot and dusty. Heading up the trail to Johnson Lake, the trail enters a burn area that on a hot day would be pure hell. Fortunately, at the upper end of the valley, the trail leaves the burn area to enter the cool forest for the final switchbacks up over the ridge to Johnson Lake. Before reaching the lake, the Burn area is entered again and a trail sign and map outlining camping restrictions directs you to camps on either side of the lake. As the burn area is on the east shore we take the main trail along the west shore, camping at a nice camp at the south end of the lake.
