Not to be confused with the more famous Notch
Peak in Tule Valley near Delta.
The trailhead starts at the same area as the Clyde
Lake trailhead, but instead of going west this trail goes
north toward Ibantic Lake. The trail starts by passing between
two lakes known as the Lilly Lakes. The trail remains fairly
level as it passes Wall Lake, which has a footbridge and a
rock wall, and then curves east. There is a shortcut trail
along the way that goes north, this will save you about 5
minutes or so. Most people go into the "Notch" (The
pass cut out of Notch Mountain) and then climb up the mountain
from the east side. I would probably just start directly up
after passing Hope Lake and go north up it's south side, which
would save quite a bit of time.
Once again the rainclouds were billowing up everywhere, and
once again we gambled with them all the way to the top. On
the way back, the sunset lit up one of the lakes, I took out
my camera, and felt a shock, and our hair started to stand
up, so I turned it off and we kept moving.
If there is an electric storm, I wouldn't stay still because
static electricity builds slowly around you. If you keep moving
under the trees, I believe your chances of getting struck
are lower. I don't think I've heard of someone getting hit
by lightning while they were moving fast under trees, but
you never know.
Later a rainbow appeared, I couldn't resist so I snapped off
a few shots before it faded away.

I love this area me and my dad were exploring around the watson mountaing and decided to go over and check out the notch area. When we stumbeld on some mountain goats. I snuck up on them getting with in seven yards of one to take a magnificent picture which aired on Doug Millers Outdoors. If you would like to see some pics of the goats email me at jem_69s@yahoo.com
