    Tips

    August 16, 2023

    Columbine Lake sits at 12,800 feet above sea level. If you are camping you should move your tent each night to avoid damaging the tundra and you can fish in the lake for trout if you desire. The stunning peaks surrounding the lake should only be climbed if you have alpine experience since storms can move in quickly.
