This was a pleasant hike about 45 mins up to the lake (and about the same back down) through some lovely Aspen groves and fields of the national forest. I parked just off Silverlakes Rd and started down Road 706. Almost immediately we had to ford a small ... m4ris4 http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=794 2008-09-11T17:32:25+0000 2008-09-11T17:32:25+0000 Larry had never hiked south of the reservior so we pulled out our national forest map and decided to hike a nice trail to "Little Brown Lake" - a small watering hole. We parked behind the reservoir and started to head southwest, gaining in elevation until we were well above the reservoir. To this point the hike was fairly open and not steep. We continued up the trail and at a fork ... m4ris4 http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=777 2008-07-19T08:18:53+0000 2008-08-24T12:38:32+0000 Wightman Fork This is a great trail which is easy to access from Jasper, a short 3 miles away. It is designated "non motorized" and maintains a pristine feeling unlike many area trails which are heavily used by off road vehicles. Continue West on Road 250 for roughly 3 miles until you see the cattle pen on the left. There is an open field here which I believe is National Forest ...

This is in the same general area as Crater Lake so there are similarities in terrain. Head west from Jasper in the direction of Summitville for 13 miles. Stay right and do not take the first forks to Platoro or the Stunner camp ground! When you get to the twin lakes, take the LEFT fork which is not the way to Summitville. The ...

My all time favorite hike in the area is the Crater Lake Trail. The trailhead is maybe 15 miles west of Jasper in the direction of Summitville. The sign "Crater Lake Trailhead" is visible before reaching Summitville. The trailhead is almost always muddy if because it also doubles as a drainage for the hill. The initial climb ...

The Cat Creek trail is accessed near the Terrace, along Road 250. As you see the first Rio Grande National Forest sign, keep your eyes peeled for the Cat Creek sign. The trail head is obvious and offers handy parking. The first quarter mile of the trail is a little rocky and sometimes wet because it follows Cat Creek. After clearing the first ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr
