The Ice Lake Trail takes tourists to one of the most awesome places in the San Juan Mountains. The whole journey will be about 3 miles and during this trip, hikers will enjoy the stunning views of the old trees, colorful peaks, and ridges. But of course, the most fascinating places to see during visiting The Ice Lake Trail are the lakes. Absolutely different and impressive three lakes – Fuller, Ice, and Island will award the travelers with beautiful views.
The highest and the biggest of these three is Fuller lake. It is rather shallow and is surrounded by rocky flats.
Ice Lake is the most beautiful Lake among these three. It contains rich turquoise water, which is ringed by start slopes. The Ice Lake is fed by high elevation snowmelt and sometimes it becomes cloudy because of the suspension of ground rocks.
Island Lake, as you might have guessed from its title, has an island. It sits beneath Ulysses Grant Peak.
Higher peaks of Eastern Juans will be seen from the Ice Lake Trail. The best time for hiking in the Ice Lake Trail summer, to enjoy the beauty of wildflowers and species living in this area.
