Lake Ann is an amazing alpine lake just below Lake Ann Pass. It sits above treeline and there a just a few spots to pitch a tent that are kind of sheltered. You can pitch next to a small stream in a ditch or hike a little further along the south shore towards a rocky incline with some trees to find suitable spots to spend the night.

Running

Lake Ann offers up close and personal views of The Three Apostles and Ice Mountain behind Huron Peak and Granite Mountain. This alpine lake is tucked away and stays snowed in later into the season than most of the other alpine lakes in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.

If you are looking for a run in the Winfield area but don't want to deal with the crowds of a 14er, Lake Ann serves as a much more runnable and private wilderness experience.
