Windsor Lake

This short hike leads to a stunning alpine lake at the base of the Continental Divide. Do not be fooled by the short distance of the trek; what it lacks in length, it makes up for in steepness. This trail makes a challenging half-day trip, with the possibility of fishing at its terminus.
