Driving directions to the trailhead:
Elevation gain and distance are without optional hikes. The backpack to and from Brady Lake is an easy 1.5 mile, 900' hike. After setting up tents, take a quick optional walk over the hill to Sopris Lake. On day 2 we will attempt to reach Ethel Lake, which is OFF TRAIL and will involve bushwhacking approximately 3.5 miles and 2000' of elevation gain. On day 3 we head back down the trail and return to the meeting place.
The last 1/2 to 1 mile of the access road is rough, and if we need to park lower down it will increase the length of the hike by that amount.
If you need to cancel after the trip is closed, please text Candace at 303-888-0559.
Required Equipment
