Wonderful hike, albeit a bit busy for my taste (twas a weekend). It just happened to be in the right time slot as we were headed over Independence Pass that day.
Trail is in pretty good shape and hiking counter-clockwise from the eastern trailhead each of the first two lakes stays hidden until you crest the grade and then... BAM!- there it is. Grade of the hike is steady, nothing drastic. A+ for wild flowers and as most trails are in the area, a nice walk along a creek.

Our last hike on our two week trip was an easy walk to Lost Man Lake ending at a great viewpoint. This hike was from the Upper TH at 11,500. There is a lower TH about 4 miles down route 82 at about 10,600 feet and the hike can be done as a shuttle or loop if you are willing to hike the road. We went out and back about 3 miles each way to a viewpoint shortly past Lost Man Lake. The first three photos were taken on the drive to the TH through Independence Pass.

This is the end of a great 2 week trip with 1 week in Taos NM and a second week near Buena Vista CO. On the drive back home we drove through Ouray and had lunch in Silverton at Grumpy's, a great place. We continued on to Durango. Ouray to Durango is one super scenic drive. Highly recommended.
