Herman Lake is one of my favorite hikes - beautiful scenery that leads to an alpine lake for a great lunch spot!

This popular hike is somewhat steep at the beginning and then again near the lake. There are magnificent views all along the trail. My favorite part is hanging out at the lake and enjoying the beauty that surrounds it.
