Hiking
This trail leads for just over a mile, climbing steadily from the junction with Grand Ditch Trail. At the end of the trail, you'll reach Lake of the Clouds, a spectacular alpine lake set between Never Summer Wilderness and Rocky Mountain National Park at the base of Howard Mountain and Mount Cirrus. From here, enjoy fantastic views over the epic mountains and forest surrounding you.
