Rocky National Park Sprague Lake
Rocky National Park has alot of scenic and beautiful lake with simple hikes. One of the breathtaking ones is the Sprague Lake in Colorado Rocky National Park.
This place is located on the south side of Glacier Creek, about two miles south of the Hollowell turnoff. The half-mile walk around the lake is wheelchair accessible and features boardwalks and bridges with views of Flattop Mountain, hallet peak, otis peak, taylor peak and thatchtop mountain.
If you are lucky, and a cloud passes by the peaks, you can snap a photo like how the photos are. The hikes here are relatively simple(30 min walk) which not much of a gradient although its surface elevation is already about 2,000m. This is simply because Colorado is a place high up in the mountains. Sprague Lake is also a very popular destination if you love fishing, there are brook, brown and rainbow trout here for fishing avids.
Just tao take note, Sprague lake is open all year round and you DO NEED a pass to enter since this is under the rocky mountain national park. The drive from denver is about 2hours, but it is definitely worth the drive as there are also many other hikes and views to take on this drive.
