Reflection at Mills Lake
Trail Features:
This trail passes Alberta Falls which is a great “stop & look” spot. A short uphill climb is worth the reward when Glacier Gorge opens up to Mills Lake. Longs Peak, Keyboard of the Winds, Pagoda Mountain & Chiefs Head provide a spectacular frame for this mountain lake which offers several large flat boulders for being at the water’s edge. If the lighting is just right, a reflection of Longs Peak can be captured on the lake’s surface.
Mills Lake is beautiful in the fall as well as a favorite snowshoe destination in the winter.
Optional Destination: Jewel Lake is just beyond and Black Lake is 2.2 miles further.
