10The Blue Lakes Trail
Last but not least, is this 11-mile, moderately difficult hike. The Blue Lakes Trail offers hikers blooming wildflowers, lovely lakes, and other exceptional views. Indeed, this hike features impressive glacial basins and a trio of scenic lakes.
Undoubtedly the sights are a big part of the hike’s popularity. Yet, there are several hiking options in this area. Some hikers enjoy trekking from the lower lakes to the upper lakes. Others prefer hiking from the upper lakes to the Blue Lakes Pass.
Still, other hikers choose to hike a combination of those three. It doesn’t really matter which length of hike or which direction you choose, to be honest. Whatever you opt for, you will be rewarded with some of the most beautiful mountainous views in the country.
If you’re feeling athletic though, and are also an experienced climber, consider taking on the southwest ridge of Mt. Sneffels. All these Colorado hiking trails are quite popular. As long as you are prepared, you really can’t go wrong.
