    Tips

    November 20, 2023

    There are several Emerald Lakes in Colorado, and there are actually two in San Juan National Forest. This is the smaller of the two, but it does hold a stronger emerald color than the larger. This lake is tucked down in a cove at 11,300 feet and has a beautiful backdrop of 12,000 foot peaks.
