Route Description for Haviland Lake Trail
If you are looking for an easy-going adventure in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado that will allow you to explore the forest, take in views of the surrounding landscape, and camp nearby to the trailhead, then the Haviland Lake Trail is a great option to do so.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will enter into the cover of the forest and head to the southwest until you arrive at a junction near the banks of Elbert Creek. Head right here and follow the path as it continues on to the southwest and climbs up the wooded hillside for beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and nearby mountains.
After meandering along the hillside, you will make a descent through the forest to the south, following the trail as it bends to the northeast and crosses back over Elbert Creek. Here, you will follow along the banks of the creek to the north, enjoying the last of the tranquil woodland atmosphere before arriving back at the trailhead.
