Best hike in Colorado.
Ice Lakes Trail的点评
点评："Best hike in Colorado" a friend told me.
Celebrating 60 trips around the sun with another friend doing the same we were ready for a challenge.
The trail is a relentless climb through near timberline forests of Spruce, aspen and firs. A switchback near a waterfall gives you an early thrill, viewing it from about 3 perspectives. But the climb continues seemingly without any super steep parts, but really no level spots until you reach the cirque.
At the cirque the view opens up to a spectacular vista of falls, peaks, snowfields, lakes, and meadows. It also features a level path for a mile or so. Our tired legs welcomed it.
To leave the meadow and climb up to the next lake, you had to first cross a snow melt laden stream. While not threatening in terms of life, the prospect of a cold slip was real. On the way down we waded across.
Once across the stream the hike became more of a mountain trek. While not overly harsh, a nasty even fatal fall risk was present climbing up the headwall of the cirque. We had to cross a snowfield which had a small risk of sliding down as well. Once there we saw the still mostly frozen lake. A spectacular setting, cold blasts of wind warning us to be prepared for any weather.
We were just too wiped out to consider climbing another 500 feet to another lake. The trip down was filled with accomplishment and wonder as we peaked over our shoulders to see what we'd accomplished.
You should be in decent shape to attempt this hike. While not extreme, the 12,500 foot altitudes will stress your lungs if not somewhat prepared. Watch for afternoon storms in the summer. Can be severe and deadly.

翻译：“科罗拉多州最好的徒步旅行”，一位朋友告诉我。
庆祝 60 次环太阳旅行，另一位朋友也做了同样的事情，我们准备好迎接挑战。
这条小径是一条无休止的攀爬路线，穿过云杉、白杨和冷杉的林木线森林。瀑布附近的急转弯让您从大约 3 个角度观看瀑布，让您一开始就感到兴奋。但攀登似乎没有任何超级陡峭的部分，但实际上没有平坦的地方，直到您到达冰斗。
在冰斗，视野开阔，可以看到瀑布、山峰、雪原、湖泊和草地的壮丽景色。它还有一条大约一英里长的平坦道路。我们疲惫的双腿欢迎它。
要离开草地并爬上下一个湖泊，您必须先穿过一条积雪融化的溪流。虽然没有生命危险，但确实有可能滑倒。在下山的路上，我们涉水而过。
穿过溪流后，徒步旅行更像是一次山间跋涉。虽然不是特别陡峭，但爬上冰斗的顶壁时，存在严重甚至致命的坠落风险。我们必须穿过一片雪原，那里也有滑落的风险。到达那里后，我们看到了仍然大部分结冰的湖泊。景色壮观，冷风警告我们要做好应对任何天气的准备。
我们太累了，没法再爬 500 英尺去另一个湖。下山的旅程充满了成就感和惊奇，我们回头看看自己取得了什么成就。
你应该身体状况良好才能尝试这次徒步旅行。虽然不是极端的，但如果没有做好准备，12,500 英尺的高度会给你的肺部带来压力。注意夏季下午的风暴。可能会很严重，致命。
