If you're looking for a picturesque spot off the beaten path, you should definitely check out Red Rock Lake. At an elevation of around 10,500 feet, this hidden gem is often overshadowed by Brainard Lake, but it's worth a visit. The lake offers stunning reflections and vibrant colors, making it a photographer's paradise, especially during sunrise or after sunset. Red Rock Lake is located inside the Brainard Lake Recreational Area off the Peak to Peak Highway (Hwy 72) near Ward, CO. You can visit the area throughout the summer and into October without a fee if you are on your bike.

Excellent views of the Flatirons.

… best when the park is closed and you can only hike here …

Long Lake is an alpine that sits over 10,000 feet in elevation. It's surrounded by a beautiful backdrop of the Indian Peaks. The shore around the lake is a great spot to see moose and wildflowers in the summer.

Brainard Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness below the Continental Divide surrounded by subalpine forest. It is in the Brainard Lake Recreation Area, which during the summer season usually requires a reservation and a fee, but if you are on your bike you do not need to pay or reserve a time slot. Because of the area's high elevation, snow typically remains until late spring, even on the paved road to the lake.
