On a hot summer day, not much beats dipping your toes in an ice cold mountain lake. There’s something so soothing about an expanse of water, especially when it’s surrounded by towering peaks. While places like Moraine Lake and Emerald Lake get a lot of attention, and deservedly so, we love that the Rocky Mountains are full of scenic and less busy lakes — you just have to be willing to put in a little effort.
Lake hikes are so stunning! One of my favorite trips ever was a late autumn trek to chihuahua lake in Colorado; you can usually get away with much less elevation change. Thank you for sharing this guide!
