Ice Lake in Colorado. Photo taken by Tyler P., Boulder, CO.
Although Colorado is known for its world class skiing in the winter, the summer season offers remarkable hiking opportunities through spectacular scenery.
A 7.6-mile hike in the San Juan Mountains travels past golden meadows and three waterfalls en route to this stunning tarn (a small mountain lake) in Ice Lake Basin, surrounded by the jagged mountain peaks.
Located between the towns of Ouray and Silverton in southern Colorado, a hike to Ice Lake makes a fun day excursion from your Durango timeshare rental.
