Comanche Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in San Isabel National Forest. The trail to the lake is short, but can be rocky and steep; hiking poles are recommended to get down from the lake. Coming from Venable trail, you need to cross Phantom Terrace, a small ledge that connects the Comanche trail to Venable trail, this part seems to be more sketchy than it really is, you just need to have caution. The trail is better experienced between May and October due to snow and muddy conditions.
