Molas Pass sits a few yards below where the Colorado Trail passes the US 550 highway. Walk south 250 feet to the spur trail to the parking area and find Molas Overlook, a pit toilet, and parking at an elevation of 10,910 feet.

The views down over Trout Lake with its mountain backdrop from here on Highway 145 are simply breathtaking.

Little Ice Lake is nestled in the basin just next to towering rock walls. A short trail takes you to its shore where you can take a break.

Lower Ice Lake Basin is a great place to catch some breath again after the steep climb from Ice Lake Trailhead. Take a break to enjoy the scenery before your final ascent to the upper alpine lakes. There are some nice streams to fill your water bottle (don’t forget to treat the water).

Clear Lake is a popular lake for hikers and runners. It is also a popular spot for fishing. The lake is at a high altitude, so the trail up to the lake has a lot of elevation change.

Ice Lake is a stunning alpine lake that is perfect for a break. You are surrounded by the majestic peaks of Golden Horn, Pilot Knob and Ulysses S Grant Peak. The best time to visit this high alpine lake is from July through August, but in a high snow year, bring winter gear even in summer.
