Chicago Lakes Trail

The challenging and beautiful trail that leads from Echo Lake high into the Mount Evans Wilderness to the stunning Chicago Lakes.

The Chicago Lakes Trail is your pathway to a spectacular high-alpine landscape. This is a tough, rocky, and rewarding trail that showcases the rugged beauty of the Mount Evans Wilderness. The journey up the scenic valley is a fantastic adventure in itself, but the ultimate prize is reaching the two pristine lakes, surrounded by towering peaks. It’s a must-do for any serious Colorado hiker.
