Lost Lake Loop-Grand Mesa National Forest-Colorado-Day Hike

On September 10, 2024 I hiked to Lost Lake in the Grand Mesa National Forest. There is a day use Fee of $8 to to enter, bring cash. This was a very easy hike. Almost anyone can do it. I saw an entire daycare of young ones hiking to Lost Lake. Lost Lake was beautiful with it's crystal clear emerald green color. This was a fun hike. I added the Glacial Springs Trail to the Rim View Trail back to Mesa Lake. The Mesa lakes are beautiful too and have lots of fish in them. 6.6 miles and 1087 feet of elevation gain on my loop hike. If you are just wanting to hike to Lost Lake, it's a 2.7 miles round trip and less than 500 feet of elevation gain. From the Mesa Lake Loop it's 4 miles.
This hike was part of our Colorado road trip:
Ice Lake in the San Juan National Forest
Lost Lake in the Grand Mese National Forest
Pitkin Lake in the Eagles Nest Wilderness.

What a gorgeous hike, and do many lakes! I bet Fall can be really spectacular, looking at all of the aspens. Thanks so much!
