Only open to hikers, runners, and horseback riders, the Boulder Lake Trail in the Eagles Nest Wilderness takes you to a quiet, alpine lake with the mountains of the Gore Range as a backdrop. This is a beautiful hiking destination, but it is not popular. If you are looking for a less-populated alpine lake hike, this is a good place to start.
