Lower Cataract Lake

Looking for a short, mellow hike with spectacular colors? The Lower Cataract Loop trail outside of Silverthorne is 2.3 miles and contains large aspen groves while walking alongside the picturesque lake. This trail is perfect for people of all ages and skill levels, making it a great family hike.

For those looking for a harder trail, just down the road is the trailhead for Upper Cataract Lake, which is around 10 miles and has spectacular views as well.
