This 6 and a half mile roundtrip hike is
characterized by
awesome 360 degree views and a trek to a lake, frozen for
most of the
year, at the base of 13,427' Grizzly Peak. Beginning on a 4WD
road this
hike features a climb of varying intensity that culminates in a
steep
scramble up a grass and talus slope to the lake at 12,200' which
is
located directly west (left) of the trail as you reach the end
of the
gulch.
Views of 14'ers Gray and Torreys to the East make the walk
through the
beautiful meadows especially rewarding. Since there are several
stream
crossings and some marshy terrain you might want to save this
hike for
the dry season.

Fall is an especially great time to enjoy this
invigorating adventure as the splendor of the Aspens in the
lower
section of the trail will demonstrate.
