Lime Mesa Trail leads to two alpine lakes, Ruby Lake and Emerald Lake. The lakes are seasonal (snowed in during the winter) and take a while to thaw out in the spring and summer months. The trail floods sometimes (especially the higher sections of trail), but this trail is full of growth and wildlife from start to finish.
