Views abound along the Willow Lake Trail ascent.
Willow Park, about a third of the way from trailhead to Willow Lake, is a one hour walk. This is early winter. The trail goes right by Willow Park so you can't possibly miss it. Challenger Point is seen in the middle; Willow Lake is in the bowl on left.
Willow Lake moonrise.
Willow Lake, its cliffs, and waterfall. Kit Carson and Challenger are up to the right, obscured from view.
Willow Lake (main lake; a smaller one is higher up) in February, 2018. Notice that the waterfalls freeze in vivid colors, blues and greens.
