    Hiking

    Tucked away in an alpine basin at the base of Red Peak's northern slopes is a group of high elevation lakes known as Willow Lakes. The most popular approach to the Lakes involves taking the Gore Range Trail from either the north or the south and tying that into the Willow Lakes Trail. Other adventurers drop into the Willow Lake basin from the peaks and ridges towering above.
