Gorgeous place... Second only to Maroon Bells. Mind your time of year due to snow melt, slippery/muddy paths. Unless you are an avid photographer or hiker at heart do not recommend waterfall chase for the extra 2 mile round trip. Also do not recommend the longer path around the lake, as it has very few vistas worth taking the longer path. Place if a definite must see in Colorado.

Love this place. Great location to spot moose. There are three lakes here and trails up to several others. It is in the Brainard Lake State Park so you have to have state parks pass or pay an entry fee. Also you need a reservation.
