Because of how rough the road is getting to the lake, not a lot of people get to the water. With camping allowed 100 feet away from the water's edge, this is a popular spot for hiking and backpacking, and you shouldn't expect to see too many other people out on the trail.

Grizzly Lake is a wonderful high-alpine lake located in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. There are plenty of wildflowers and after the hard climb up to this lake, you can take a swim to cool off.
