    Tips

    July 10, 2023

    Harvard Lakes are two high elevation forested lakes tucked away beside the Colorado Trail in San Isabel National Forest (right on the border of the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness). There is plenty of camping near the lakes, which is handy for those doing overnight trips. There is an intersection between the Colorado Trail and Three Elk wilderness trail next to the lakes, offering different route and loop options.
