Hours are from dawn to dusk 7-days a week. Admission Free. Donation boxes may be found in the gardens near the kiosks. https://www.yampariverbotanicpark.org/

This beginner friendly loop winds through meadows bursting with wildflowers, shady woodlands, and rolling hills.

Although the parking lot is quite big, the trailhead fills up quickly especially when the aspens shimmer golden in late September. Check this webcam before you drive up to the Dry Lake Trailhead to find out if there are still lots available: share.earthcam.net/tJ90CoLmq7TzrY396Yd88PN-LGPG_7LcFwWSD6ItD3c!/steamboat_usda_forest_service_dry_lake_trailhead/camera/view_1 .

This is another beautiful waterfall, and much less crowded than the lower Fish Creek Falls. Parts of the trail reaching here are very rocky and backed up against cliffs, so keep your wits about you — especially when you cross paths with other trail users, which may include mountain bikers.

These falls are stunning, and the trail to this lookout is an easy warmup. Keep your wits about you, though — this is a very popular area, so you may have to weave in and out of the crowds. The farther you go up the trail the easier it'll be to keep up a run, even as the trail gets rougher.

The trail to this overlook is wheelchair accessible, and gives you a fantastic overview of 283-foot Fish Creek Falls.

Gold Creek Lake is one of the prettiest destinations in Mount Zirkel Wilderness, and one of the easiest to reach. In fact it's part of the famous Zirkel Circle, a loop that starts at Gilpin Lake and then loops around to Gold Creek Lake. But Gold Creek also makes a fine — and much easier — destination on its own. As you might imagine, the trailhead, trail, and lake are all correspondingly busy.
