Volunteer Ranger Picks

"My favorite trail is the Grizzly Lake Trail. This trail has everything — abundant wildlife, spectacular high mountain scenery, varied terrain, great wildflowers and a pristine high altitude lake." – Garrett Bouton


"Though a long drive, the hike to Lyle Lake is an easy trek with spectacular wildflowers in July and a babbling brook to escort hikers to Lyle Lake. Continuing on to Morman Lake is more strenuous but offers awesome views of the Holy Cross Wilderness."
– Vincent Cangelosi


"Lost Man is such a joy. The flowers are spectacular - the colors so vivid, and the view from the top of the Collegiate Peaks in the distance is breathtaking."
Francine Liebel


"Lyle-Morman Lakes is my favorite hike. Beautiful vistas, flowers abound and extraordinary rocks...an exquisite high country hike without the vertical climbs we often have to get to such a place."
– Donna Grauer


"My long-time favorite, ultimate all-day hike to experience the views east and west from an above-the-world 'summit' is West Maroon Pass ... or make it a truly enjoyable over-nighter!"
– Mary Anne Meyer


"My favorite hike is from Maroon Lake to Crater Lake in the Maroon Bells. I love this hike for the spectacular vistas of the Bells but, more importantly, because I was married at the edge of Crater Lake on a beautiful June morning."
– Judy Schramm


"My favorite hike is Lost Man Loop because the terrain, the views, and the physical/ personal experience is different every mile, from the first to the last."
– Carol Kurt
