"My favorite trail is the Grizzly
Lake Trail. This trail has everything — abundant
wildlife, spectacular high mountain scenery, varied terrain,
great wildflowers and a pristine high altitude lake." – Garrett
Bouton
"Though a long drive, the hike to Lyle
Lake is an easy trek with spectacular wildflowers in July
and a babbling brook to escort hikers to Lyle Lake. Continuing
on to Morman Lake is more strenuous but offers awesome views of
the Holy Cross Wilderness." – Vincent
Cangelosi
"Lost Man is such a joy. The flowers
are spectacular - the colors so vivid, and the view from the top
of the Collegiate Peaks in the distance is breathtaking." – Francine Liebel
"Lyle-Morman Lakes is my favorite
hike. Beautiful vistas, flowers abound and extraordinary rocks...an
exquisite high country hike without the vertical climbs we often
have to get to such a place." –
Donna Grauer
"My long-time favorite, ultimate all-day hike to experience
the views east and west from an above-the-world 'summit' is West
Maroon Pass ... or make it a truly enjoyable over-nighter!" – Mary
Anne Meyer
"My favorite hike is from Maroon Lake to Crater
Lake in the Maroon Bells. I love this hike for the spectacular
vistas of the Bells but, more importantly, because I was married
at the edge of Crater Lake on a beautiful June morning." – Judy
Schramm
"My favorite hike is Lost Man Loop because
the terrain, the views, and the physical/ personal experience is
different every mile, from the first to the last." – Carol Kurt
