Boulder Lake- Silverthorne



Boulder lake is located in the Eagles Nest Wilderness near Silverthorne. This is a moderate trail 5.7 miles round trip with 1,365 elevation gain.



The trail travels through montane and subalpine forests to the lake. Lodgepole pines were attacked by pine beetle in areas.
We passed a roaring waterfall along the way.






Turn left onto the Boulder Creek Trail.

There are areas of water and lots of wildflowers.




Nice views along the way.




Finally the Lake. It was a great place for lunch.



We saw four moose in a meadow with willows about 1/4 mile from the lake. A great ending to the hike.
