Lily Lake

 

There are 2 trails around Lily Lake off of highway 7 south of Estes Park.  The lower trail around the lake is flat and is about 1 mile long.  The upper trail climbs up Lily Mountain for about half of the way around the lake and then rejoins the lower trail that goes around the lake and this route is about 2 miles long.  If you are planning more difficult hikes later in the week, I would recommend using the upper trail.
