Great 360 degree views of Pike National Forest. There were a lot of people on this trail for being so remote but an awesome day hike. Definitely spend some time in the tower with Billy who's been tending to the tower for 33 years, he's a legend.

This little adventure was everything I expected, seemed unreal walking up to the shore of the lake. Came during "off season" in early May. Definitely recommended, avoid the crowds, and still get some color from the Aspens just blooming.

Awesome cross between the green covered mountains and dessert terrain of the valley. This was an awesome, quick hike; make sure to stop by the visitors center to catch a map and pair it with a few others in the park!
