Boulder Lake



When you head north on Highway 9 out of Silverthorne about 7.5 miles on the left hand side of the road is Rock Creek Road. If you are not looking for it you will pass it. It's just after a curve in the road and is barely visible. However, if you find yourself on it get ready for an adventure! A 4WD car is recommended and the road can get a little rough. There are several direction you can take once on the road and all lead to fantastic hikes.
Boulder Lake is on the Gore Range Trail and can be accessed from the Rock Creek Trailhead. It is just under 3 miles to the lake. The trail is a lot of ups and downs and gets your heart rate up both directions.
This will definitely be on my list to go back to in the spring.
