 The trail skirts the western shoreline of Cabresto Lake before following Lake Fork Creek for the remainder of the 5 miles to Heart Lake. Cross the bridge and continue along Lake Fork Creek as it passes through mixed conifers, aspen groves, and small meadows to the next trail junction (Heart Lake and Baldy Mountain). Take the path to the left. Heart Lake is a short distance further. Camping is permitted 300 feet away from the lake’s edge. It is worth it to hike up the mile of switchbacks west of Heart Lake (Bull Creek Trail #85) to reach a series of beautiful alpine mesas and the Latir Peaks.
Water is available along the entire length of the trail but should be properly treated before consumption. For short trips, take a supply of water from home or other domestic sources.
The Latir Lakes require a permit as they are on Private Land. Permits can be obtained at the Rio Costilla Livestock Association on Hwy 1950.
