"an easy to reach gem in the San Juans" by FOTG The trail gains just over 500 feet in one mile and is a little steep in areas, but very well maintained and easy to follow, with a couple of pretty standard creek crossings. The highlights of this short hike include the aspen groves along the way and of course the lake. One should expect crowds on the weekends and holidays, however, solitude can be found with choosing proper times and days to hike to this lake. There are a couple of nice camping areas at the terminus of the trail and along the shoreline. There was evidence of people fishing the lake when we visited, but I am unsure of the lake's viability as a source for fishing. The area appears to have some tremendous potential for fall colors and early season hikers should only expect to reach the lake due to lingering snow. Check out the Official Route and Triplogs.
