레이크 카운티 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

The Mayflower Lakes Trailhead is a good base for hikes to the Mayflower and Mohawk Lakes or to the Crystal Lakes. The road leading to this trailhead is rough - so a 4WD, high-clearance vehicle is recommended.

At this point, the Burro Trail meets with Crystal Lakes Road. You can hike into Breckenridge via the Burro Trail or to the Spruce Creek Trailhead and Crystal Lakes (other direction) by taking the rough rock road.

There are a few designated campsites along Spruce Creek Road. This one is the lowest and closest to the Spruce Creek Trailhead. From here, the road gets a lot tougher and 4WD/ high-clearance cars are recommended. If you walk deeper into the forest, you can find more spots to pitch a tent.

Lower Crystal Lake is a great destination for hiking – if you have a capable car (high-clearance, 4WD) then you can even drive all the way to this place. The alpine lake is home to cutthroat trout. Pikas, moose, deer and marmots roam the area around it. The lake is not located in a National Park, but in the White River National Forest.

Here the water does not "fall" quite as "deep" as at the lower waterfall, but you can get right up to the cool water; the detour is definitely worth it!

Climb a few meters up behind the dilapidated hut and you will have wonderful views of the Lower Waterfall (and that in August!)

Who doesn't love high alpine lakes!? While frozen most of the year, Mayflower Lake is gorgeous in the summer and a great place to cool the doggies on a hot day!

Amazing view of Lower Crystal Lake as it is nestled inside a half bowl of Father Dyer Peak and Mount Helen. You can fish at the lake and spot moose, elk, and smaller mammals. You are allowed to camp here, but must follow National Park regulations.
