メディスンボウマウンテンズのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A beautiful alpine lake, set into a veritable moonscape of rock dotted with trees. This starkly beautiful spot makes a good turnaround for some runners, but if you're feeling peppy and prepared for traveling through remote terrain in rapidly changing weather, you could continue farther and, for the really intrepid and well-prepared runner, even complete a loop circumnavigating Browns Peak.

One of the stunning lakes in the Snowy Range, South Gap Lake has some grassy patches along the shoreline that make for a good rest stop.

Medicine Bow Peak sits at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) in elevation, and the trail to reach it is entirely above treeline. That means it's exposed to the elements and the weather — so although it may be a trail runner's natural inclination to go lightly and with minimal equipment, make sure you're prepared to deal with bad weather if it happens. The US Forest Service even recommends traveling here in the morning, as weather patterns tend to be even less stable in the afternoon.

Medicine Bow Peak sits at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) in elevation, and the trail to reach it is entirely above treeline. Weather can change quickly and dramatically at this elevation, so even the US Forest Service recommends hiking early in the morning, as the weather can be even more variable in the afternoon.

Rawah Lake 1 is just north of Rawah Lake two along the Rawah Trail. These two lakes are connected by a stream, which flows through the thick forest. This is a great place to look out for wildlife and wildflowers as you hike.

From the wide, open summit of Montgomery Pass you get fantastic views of North Park to the west, the Neota Wilderness to the south, and the Rawah Wilderness to the north. The summit of pass is also just east of the boundary between Roosevelt National Forest and Colorado State Forest State Park, where you can see the remains of a log cabin that dates from around 1900.
