Mohawk Lakes- with Alpine lakes - Breckenridge

Last time I did this trail we went with snow on the ground. This time it was much prettier but still a little challenging to find the trails.
I would recommend a GPS to find your way. There are so many social trails that get you turned around. I like the app GAIA on my phone.

On the way up we went the way of the waterfall. We climbed to the left of the waterfall to climb up to the lakes. The falls were running fast.

There are two places to park for starting. The spruce Creek Trailhead is easier to drive to- 4WD not needed. The other option is the trailhead used for Crystal Lakes. This is a rough road (need high clearance) that cuts off some distance.

There wasnt much snow left to cross to get to the lower lake.

The Lower lake is usually pretty crowded. Keep going up the upper lake.

The lower lake was pretty dotted with snow.

There was more snow up top. We brought our spikes so didnt have any problems.

More snow as we went up. Very pretty. This time we decided to find the alpine lakes further on.

It was a little steep to get past the upper lake to the first alpine lake. But after that was realatively level.

Getting to the Alpine lakes.

There were four Alpine lakes we found.

This hike was 7 plus miles total with elevation gain of +1,810' gain. A great workout!
