Square Top Lakes- near Guanella Pass

Here is the Trailhead, there is a toliet and map. Usually lots of parking here. Its busy on the other side of the road to climb Mt Bierstadt.

Here is the narrow trail up to the lakes.

I love the unusual vegetation and little creeks you find along the way.

The trail is 4.2 miles round trip with a 600 ft gain elevation.

There are lots of willow plants.


Here you can see the lakes you will pass.


Here is the first lake.



The second lake is larger.

Looking down to the first lake below.


We like to drive back through Georgetown along rt 70 to see the beautiful aspens along the road.
