Lakes Mary, Martha, and Catherine (Brighton Lakes)

10/22/24

We only made it to Lake Mary because the trail is consistently muddy, rocky, snowy, or slushy....it's at least one of those descriptors the entire way! BUT--Lake Mary is beautiful. It was perfectly still when we finally reached it--not a ripple in the after and the echo is amazing! There's a reservoir wall that you have to hike around to actually reach the lake; that adds some steps, time, etc. Also, the sun sinks below the "bowl" of the lake sooner than you might think, which drops the temp, so be prepared for that.
