Route Description for Highline Trail to Taylor Lake
If you don’t mind taking a bit of a drive to reach the trailhead of an ultra-scenic hike that ends at a lovely alpine lake, then the Highline Trail to Taylor Lake will be the perfect route for you to explore the stunning landscape of the San Juan Mountains.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northwest along an easy-going footpath that leads through a scenic alpine meadow. Here, you will be inundated with beautiful views of the surrounding forests and fields that are covered with wildflowers during the summer months. Eventually, you will arrive at the quiet shores of Taylor Lake, where you can sit and enjoy the mountain views while relaxing amongst nature. After spending some time by the lake, simply head back along the same path to return to the trailhead for the rugged ride back home.
