👍👍 Amazing hike with some incredible views to reach a phenomenal lake! We took a 5&7 year old on this trail and they handled it just fine. Plenty of steps so be prepared! Not stroller friendly. Benefit of visiting is hitting up Nymph lake while you’re at it! Relatively easy and well cared for path. Gre...

Gore Range Overlook
Scenic spot
👍👍 Phenomenal view on a clear day. Quiet windy as should be expected, so protect your hats from flying away. Keep eyes open for mountain goats and elks. Last time we had a coyote jump in front of our car in pursuit of prey. The road up to this overlook closes by Labor Day, so plan accordingly.

Eagle's Eye Shelter
Scenic spot
👍👍 A amazing views from this spot! It used to be a cabin for a family awhile back. They lived there for 40 years! Must have been nice to have those views everyday. It’s a very short hike if you don’t go counter clockwise on the trails. Although I highly recommend doing that because it’s a gorgeous hike...

👍👍 GO EARLY (before 9:30)! Parking is very limited and fills fast. Google Lilly Pad Lake Trailhead for directions (off Ryan Gulch Rd. will appear as Frisco). Beautiful lake at end of trail. A few inclines on the path, but easy to complete for novices. 1.5 - 2 hours to complete.
