Lily Lake Trail Hiking in Colorado - Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Destination hike: Lily Lake in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This is a beautiful trail that jets into a secluded spot with spectacular views of several peaks: California Peak, Ellingwood Point, Blanca Peak, Iron Nipple, Mount Lindsey. Some of the summits were socked in the clouds, but this was still an amazing adventure!
