Roman Nose Lakes Accessible Trail

The Roman Nose Lakes Accessible Trail starts at the big trailhead sign at the end of the parking lot. This is a flat trail with the first 0.7 miles on a wooden boardwalk. Right from the start there are views of the lower/first of the Roman Nose Lakes. Set in it talus sloped bowl, dotted with firs and larches, this is a very scenic lake. There are two side spurs of boardwalk that go to the lake's edge, one almost immediately, and the other after about 0.2 miles (1,000 feet). At the lake's edge one can admire its clear, pristine waters and stand in awe of the steep talus covered slopes. These two spurs are well worth visiting. After the spurs, one finds themself about halfway to the end of the lake. The boardwalk soon gives way to good singletrack that follows the shoreline to the far end of the lake where it ends at a talus field that covers the slopes all the way down to the lake. There are great views here of these impressive slopes dotted with firs and larches. Quite amazing how these trees find a way to grow amid all the boulders.
