St. Louis Lake - Winter Park, Colorado (Sept. 2001)

The task was driving to the end of St. Louis Road and hiking up the mountains to St. Louis Lake.

With a beginning elevation of 10,240 and the lake resting at 11,600, the hike was half in the woods and meadows and half above the timberline.  Click here for the topo (~300kb) and here for the inset trail map.

The first part of the trail follows this typical Colorado stream.
