Caribou Pass Trail

Wildflowers, alpine lakes, and airy views from Caribou Pass are the main attractions of this hike. The last section of the hike to Lake Dorothy is a steep, narrow ledge cut across the northern flank of Mount Neva. Trail conditions: The lower section of the trail up to the Columbine Trail is maintained, and the upper portion is steep and narrow, with steep drop-offs. Hikers with vertigo should avoid this last part of the hike.
