Mills Lake (Rocky Mtn. NP), Colorado (Sept. 2001)

We started from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead.  (See the map of the hiking route we took here.)

Glacier Gorge (near Bear Lake) is the closest and easiest trailhead.  The total trip was 5.2 miles to the lake and back.  800 ft. elevation gain and about 2,500 ft. elevation change roundtrip.  It took Mel, Don and I about 3+ hours to get there and back, taking our time at several stops.
