From the parking lot at the Moffat Tunnel west of Rollinsville, we will hike up to the Crater Lakes. There are 3 lakes: two lower lakes and one upper lake which sits under the continental divide. Getting to the lower lakes is on a well maintained trail; getting to the upper lake is a pretty steep class 2 trail.
