Gold Creek Lake is one of the prettiest destinations in Mount Zirkel Wilderness, and one of the easiest to reach. In fact it's part of the famous Zirkel Circle, a loop that starts at Gilpin Lake and then loops around to Gold Creek Lake. But Gold Creek also makes a fine — and much easier — destination on its own. As you might imagine, the trailhead, trail, and lake are all correspondingly busy.
