Columbine Lake

Tabernash

You will need a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach the High Lonesome Trailhead. It starts fairly high and much of the trail is above the beetle-kill line. (So we can remember and look forward to green trees again!) Trail has wide variety but the alpine lake at the end is just breathtaking. The trail is not as well traveled or marked as some, when on the rocky areas, look for the cairn – stacks of rocks – to lead you on.
