TWO WAYS TO GET THERE- TROUT LAKE, SW COLORADO

Gone hiking yet this summer? If you visit Durango, Colorado area and enjoy summer outdoor activities, there are great hikes for all ages and abilities. One I discovered was a cool (literally- over 9,500 feet elevation) hike out of the Silverton area that takes you over a pass to see the majestic beauty of Trout Lake. Trout Lake is surrounded by tall peaks, and is home to a lucky few dozen summer retreats.

That was last year--this year I cheated and walked an easy trail from the Matterhorn Campground near Telluride to Trout Lake, where I snapped a few quick pics with the phone (ever present, like a tether). Enjoy- and maybe you'll get to visit this little Southwest Colorado lake in the future! Bring your fishin' gear!
