    (Lower) Hancock Lake is a beautiful alpine lake just off the Continental Divide Trail. Together with Upper Hancock Lake, it's a great spot to take a break or spend the night. Both lakes are fishable and stocked with Brook Trout. Since the lakes are also accessible by OHV, there might be more people around.
