Hiking
Deluge Lake is an alpine lake located just outside of Vail, Colorado. The trail reaching the lake is in the Eagles Nest Wilderness area, meaning its trail is more primitive than trails outside of wilderness areas. This lake is not as frequented as some of the other alpine lakes around the area, offering more solitude.
