    My parents had a cabin on Log Hill Mesa right outside Ridgway, CO and across from the Dallas Creek Road access which you take to get to that Blue Lakes trailhead and Mt. Sneffels. We’d hike that trail each summer, sometimes twice. There were no smart phones w/cameras back then and I don’t have too many pictures of those adventures, so watching this brought back many wonderful memories. Thank you!

    And THIS year (2021) has been the BEST year for wildflowers in Colorado in the 16 years that I’ve been here! Apparently we got all of California’s rain (but all of California’s smoke as well😟)

    I just did this! It was much less crowded in mid-June, and there was more snow. I didn't see an obvious way to cross the water to get to the other side to go up to the upper lakes, though.

    That's so true! I was at Horseshoe Falls in 1985. All I had was a cheap disposable camera I bought at the gift shop there. I snapped a picture of the falls from balancing on the cliff side of the fence and got a picture that is breathtaking. Looks like a beautiful oil painting. My Dad was a famous professional photographer. He was shocked as he pretty much used Nikon and Hasselblad! I risked my life to get that shot. Two little old ladies almost had heart attacks watching me😂

    Thank you very much! The dirt road into this trailhead is rough - however; there were several vehicles passing me on the way in (which were probably going too fast). The road is lumpy and bumpy. Take care of your vehicle when driving in and go slow to be safe. I have a RAV4 and had no issues driving in.

    I did this hike a few weeks before these two did, July 2020. I drove up to trailhead in a RAV4, no problem on the dirt road in, however, as was mentioned, it is slow-going. Some spots are a little rocky but go slow in those areas. Saw Outbacks at the trailhead, even a few 2WD sedans. This is video is very well-done! The lake is as blue-green as the video, have fun!

    100% accurate. The road is slow-going, and depending on how much you value your car, horrible in a few places. If you slow down and take the road easy you will be fine. Hope this helps🤠
