Stunning views of southern Colorado. Wildflowers and a creek flowing in the forest contribute to an immersive experience that celebrates the natural beauty of the surroundings. (Alltrails.com)

• IMPORTANT: Both routes enter the La Garita Wilderness area. Designated wilderness areas have special regulations and restrictions for party size, dispersed camping, campfires, etc. Also, dog owners should read the wilderness information carefully because some wilderness areas prohibit dogs to be off-leash and/or limit how close dogs can be to lakes and streams. If you have questions about the wilderness area, please contact a U.S. Forest Service office for the National Forest(s) listed above.
