Tips from the community

A fall hike in Aspen promises the crunch of colorful fall leaves underfoot. Cathedral Lake Trail in Central Colorado affords amazing views that include an alpine valley, meadows, waterfalls, and alpine lake on the way to the top 11,000+ feet up. It’s a strenuous 5.6-mile hike round trip, so experience recommended.
