Want to see one of Colorado’s most beautiful spots without any effort? Here you go, Loveland Lakes Trail is easy peasy and breathtaking.
Going over Loveland Pass, not far from the top on the west side you’ll find a road that leads to a parking area and trailhead #9044.

The first lake is at the parking lot but hit the trial for pleasant surprises and an incredibly sweet short hike.
WILDFLOWERS EVERYWHERE
A couple more lakes on the trail are a must-do!
Hidden over the ridge were 2 more lakes and we were caught off guard at how incredibly beautiful it was, and you can just drive here! Most alpine lakes are long, intense hiking trails to find them.
Bring the kids, bring visitors, bring yourself if hiking is not your thing. Its steps away from the parking lot.
We are avid hikers and enjoyed this easy trail.

Views at the far end of the loop are absolutely stunning. Situated above treeline and high alpine tundra, you’ll spend hours here sitting and starring at its wonder.
We had just hiked Westridge Trail on the top of Loveland Pass and stopped at Loveland Lakes to have lunch and check it out.
