mountains over Twin Lakes, Segment 11, Colorado Trail, CO
CO (Lake County)
Day 3
Segment 10
random spot to Segment 11 Interlaken Trailhead
Twin Lakes reservoir comprises two lakes. The trail crosses a dam at the far side of the larger lake. There are numerous recreation activities here. Camping possibilities are also abundant. Interlaken Historic Resort is located on the far side.
Phone battery was almost dead but just enough to reserve a room for Friday night at Inn the Clouds hostel in Leadville. Tonight I camped near Mount Massive Trailhead. Camping is allowed almost everywhere on Halfmoon Creek Road. The night before I climbed Elbert a few years ago, I camped along the road so I had a spot in mind that overlooked the creek. Unfortunately, someone turned in there just as I drove up. Oh well, I found another spot.
14.8 trail miles for the day; +1 to hike back to my car.
