Overview

This is a difficult out and back trail to Booth Lake in White River National Forest.

Most people only hike to the falls, that's a short hike, but if you choose to continue to the lake you will be rewarded with the beauty of a scenic alpine lake and you may even see some mountain goats hanging nearby.

Getting Started

Easy access to the trail near Vail off of Interstate 70

Great hike but definitely a tough one. Took us 7 hrs including a 30-40 min lunch break at the lake. Incredible scenery between the falls and the lake.

Booth Lake

Bev and I have been to more than a few alpine lakes, and this is one of the more scenic. Booth Falls lies halfway up and is a draw for a lot of visitors. Far fewer people venture beyond the falls. (The Falls are just so-so, compared to the vistas at the Lake.)
