Trail Overview

Nestled at the base of Denver Hill, the Denver Lake Trail offers a delightful excursion for nature enthusiasts. The trail, though short, is packed scenic highlights that make it well worth the visit. The first notable sight is an old building that has remarkably withstood the test of time. This structure, situated near the beginning of the trail, serves as a silent testament to the area's rich history. You'll drive by an adit--a horizontal passageway into the hillside. This feature hints at the region's mining past, adding an intriguing layer of historical context to your adventure

Difficulty

This is a very short easy trail off of county road 2. This would offer a good spot to take in the majestic scenery of the surroundign San Juan Mountains, or to fix up a bite to eat out on the trail.
