Grizzly Lake

This route is most popular with ATVs, so expect to see some of those. If you're hiking, consider starting from the western side which is the parking lot marked with a “P” in real life as well as a waypoint on our map. To get there, make a left at the fork in the road towards Hancock and then just keep driving a little further until you see a very small pull out on your left (room for about 5 cars) that is marked with a small 'P'- brown sign. From the lot the trail is very rocky to the left and follows parallel to the road you just drove. Then there is a sign after about 50 yards to go left to Grizzly. Then not much further you see a spray painted old metal container that says Grizzly. Shortly thereafter you pass an old house. The western leg of the trail is strictly a hiking trail and lasts for about 3/4 of a mile. You hike through a great Aspen forest before you merge with the eastern leg which is an ATV trail that you stay on to the lake (junction marked on our map with a waypoint). After the two trails merge the trail is not as great for hiking. Lots of rocks including two long stretches across rock fields. You have to watch every step and concentrate. The lake is very nice and the views of the mountains at either end of the valley are great.
