Colorado lakes are
great hiking destinations

Are you looking for Colorado lakes to hike to? If so, you've come to the right place. I'll tell you where to find them as well as directions on how to reach each trailhead. Then I'll also tell you how long each trail is, as well as what you might expect to see on your way to each lake.

Some of these lakes require a fee in order to be seen, but others can be seen for free. I'll be telling you about both kinds here but for the ones that do require a fee, I'll tell you what the amount is so you can decide ahead of time, what you'd like to do.

So, are you ready for a hike? If you are, then I'll start you off at Rocky Mountain National Park. There are a lot of beautiful lakes up there and they're well worth hiking to. Bring a picnic! The trails that you'll see here range in difficulty from easy to moderate, so you'll probably be able to see as many of these mountain lakes as you want...assuming you have the time!

O.K., if you're ready, then click here to see my Rocky Mountain trails page. Don't forget to bring your camera as well as a picnic!

Would you like to see a Colorado lake that looks as though it came out of a fairy tale? If so, then you should make the hike to Hanging Lake. It is a beautiful blue-green, clear lake with a waterfall that tumbles into it. Although the trail to the lake is a little steep, it's definitely worth your time!

How would you like to see a Colorado lake and the glacier that it spills from? Now that’s something you don’t see every day! If you’d like to go see it, then please visit my page on St. Mary's Glacier.

I'll be adding more Colorado lake hikes from time to time, so check back every once in a while. In the meantime, enjoy the sparkling mountain lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park.
