Starting at Big Meadows Reservoir, the Archuleta Trail is roughly 6.5 miles long to where it connects with the Continental Divide Trail and to the beautiful Archuleta Lake. It will take you along creeks, through forest, open meadows and through Aspen forests.

Spotted Lake is a little smaller than Archuleta Lake a little further north. It is a great water source and has plenty of fish. Camping options are better at Archuleta Lake though.

The Archuleta Trailhead is located at the south shore of Big Meadows Reservoir. There is a large parking lot and a pit toilet. You can walk around the lake combining a section of the Archuleta Lake with the Big Meadows Loop Trail. The Archuleta Trail leads up to Archuleta Lake in the Weminuche Wilderness and connects with the Continental Divide Trail.

Find some really nice flat spots at the east side of Archuleta Lake a little up the hill. There is plenty of space for numerous tents and the lake with its outlet is a great water source.
