Alright fine Lower Melakwa was easy even if I thought I was being sly. How about this one from 7/25?
Also a popular area. Or near enough to one.

Looks like the basin just NNW above Royal Tarn in ONP, between Clark, Sundial and Johnson(?).

Borank clearly knows this one, but maybe others need a hint.
This lake shares its name with a lake next to a certain famous volcano in our state.

Spirit! I thought it looked a little Teanaway-ey. Been to Ingalls, Ann, and some tarns in that area. But never that one or Gallagher Head.

Yep, you got it! It's a bit steep to get down to, but not far from Van Epps Pass. I found a bunch of boot paths heading down into the forest from a flat spot on the ridge up to Van Epps Peak. However, the paths seemed to keep disappearing and I didn't find any trails down at the lake.
Here are a few more shots.

This lake has been described as a "damp buggy hell hole" by one NW Hiker. And another chimed in to proudly proclaim they have been "denouncing" this lake for years.
So, I really let fly with some major denunciations when I saw it, just to get into the spirit. Then on the way back I denounced it some more. No peaks in the background and a silvered snag in the foreground, will make this one un-identifiable to the un-initiated. If you happen to hike by it, dont hold back; administer a scathing denunciation of your own. It feels pretty good actually.

Winner winner chicken dinner! It's the very denounceable, Dagger lake!
I noticed the map says there is a horse camp down there, which seems perfect, for that kind of lake.

This lake/lakes are off trail between I-90 and Hwy 2. Lots of elevation gain and off tail hiking
