The breathtaking natural beauty of Colorado's largest glacial lakes, reflecting some of the nation's highest peaks, makes Twin Lakes one of the world's most scenic places. This 12 mile loop trail circles these stunning alpine lakes, and highlights the beautiful scenery the surrounds the area. Enjoy the view of Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado, from the trail. <br />
This is a multi-use trail, so please share the path.
From US-24 turn East on CO-82 (road to Independence Pass / Aspen). Drive about 6 miles to the tiny town of Twin Lakes . Parking lot is across the street from the resteraunt/inn (great food!). There is a road going up the hill, across from the power plant, that takes you up to Lakeview campground, for those that would like to stay and camp in the area.
