    Tips

    Hiking

    Desolation Lake is truly a peaceful sight to take in. The water is a beautiful blue-green hue, and it is surrounded by towering pines and aspens. The hike here can get pretty full on the weekends, so it’s a good idea to get an early start.

    Running

    Just to your southeast is pretty blue-green Desolation Lake and its fringe of trees. You can run around it for an easy loop, or keep trucking if you're hunting to bag a few peaks.
