| no partners | | This was our second hike in the Lizard Peak Wilderness. We got a later start than what I wanted and I was a little worried about the clouds when we started, but we were able to make it to the lake and back right before some pretty nasty weather hit the area.
The Trail to Navajo Lake is scenic and in excellent shape. There are some nice meadow sections with big views towards some of the areas dominating peaks around Navajo Lake. At two miles there is a spur trail that takes you to two waterfalls where the West Dolores River and Kilpacker Creek meet. I thought the falls were well worth the little detour and one of the highlights of the hike. The climb to the lake got steep at times, but the trail remained in great shape and relatively well maintained. The lake would have probably been more scenic for me had I not just came from chasing pristine lakes in Montana and Idaho, but I still thought it was nice. I imagine it is a lot more scenic when the sun is not in your face and there is a little snow around the lake. From the lake, we returned the way we came and finished to a little thunder. The skies would really open up later in the afternoon. |
