Gray's Lake is a secluded alpine lake situated at the southern base of Grays Peak. The road to the trailhead is pretty rough (discouraging a lot of users), but the trail is much more accessible than some of the rockier 14er hikes in the area. This alpine lake shines turquoise blue once it thaws out for the summer.
