Missouri Lakes Trail

Missouri Creek’s alluring path of waterfalls and flower-rimmed cascades draws you to its exquisite source—an alpine basin jeweled by a dozen pristine lakes. Even tired little ones resist turning back before reaching the lakes at the top. Weekday use is recommended for this popular trail.
