Browns Creek Trail

This route is a high-elevation road that takes you above treeline with scenic views of the surrounding mountains, and at the end of the trail, there is a short hike to Brown's Lake. The trail starts out from the Baldwin Lakes Trail and as it takes you above treeline, there is a series of switchbacks to a pass. At the top of the pass, you can either continue up the road towards Mount Antero or descend down to Brown's Lake. Once you descend back down below treeline, the road gets a little bit more narrow through the trees and the terrain becomes a little more difficult. There are a handful of dispersed camping spots below treeline on either side of the pass. There are fish in Brown's Lake, but it is a very shallow lake.
