Loch Lomond is a mountain lake in the high forests of Colorado. There are actually several lakes in the area, and they are all interconnected, with Loch Lomond being the lowest and the largest. The area is open to cars, bikers, and hikers so you can plan for crowds during the warmer months.

Running

There is a large gravel lot here right on the shore of Loch Lomond which provides access to the the trails around the numerous alpine lakes in the area. You can also access James Peak via a connector from the Upper Lakes trail. If your vehicle can't make it up the gravel road you can always park at the bottom and run up.
