Highline Trail to Taylor Lake

A 2-mile walk or a rollicking four-wheel-drive ride leads to Kennebec Pass, where grand views of the La Plata and San Juan Mountains reward hikers and drivers. The trail starts at Kennebec Pass. Wildflowers stand tall and colorful along the gentle 1-mile trail to the lake, which serves as a perfect lunch, photo, and feet-cooling spot.
