- Silver Dollar Lake - Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Colorado’s alpine lakes on a guided hike through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the Rocky Mountains. Depending on the season, the best destination will be selected based on current trail and snow conditions—many higher elevation trails remain snow-covered well into June. In such cases, a beautiful lower-elevation lake will be chosen instead.
These hikes generally cover 4 to 6 miles round trip, reaching elevations between 9,000 and 12,000 feet. Expect to spend around three hours on the trail, surrounded by wildflowers, evergreens, and expansive mountain vistas. The drive to these trailheads typically takes between one and one and a half hours from Denver.
Popular spots include the shimmering Silver Dollar Lake with its striking ridgeline, the serene and wooded Lost Lake, the wildflower-rich basin of Lake Isabelle, and the secluded twin Crater Lakes nestled beneath rugged cliffs. Each location provides a unique and unforgettable alpine adventure.
