Lots of woods, lots of lakes and ponds, a few meadows, and even an old timey cabin still standing along this trail bring a variety of interest. Somewhat of a long loop, it's less an exploration of high mountain peaks than a jaunt through other features of a forested wilderness. This is a good trail to take from a basecamp at Alpine Lake, and it reflects the subtle charms of the lands on the western side of Ebbetts Pass. The lakes and ponds are spread out enough to keep bringing expectations of another resting place and trailside attraction along the way, and occasionally, granite peaks appear for good measure.
