not too hard. Best during the week-less people. Easiest access is from Wildernest.

This is a hike that that our entire family enjoys! It's not too long, and not too short, and reaching "Lily Pad Lake" is a great goal for little ones.

A short, but moderate hike. Trail starts at end of dirt road off of round-about with Elk statue at I-10 exit for Frisco. Have seen a moose, and a herd of elk on the trail or at the lake. Can also see reminants of mining in area. Highly recommended hike. An alternate trail starts at the water tank at top... More

This is a good hike for someone just getting used to the altitude. It ends at the lake and if timing is right the yellow lilies are in bloom. It can be reached from two directions.

Great easy family hike! Once you get by the first part kids like the sights. Lily pad dam was made by a beaver who apparently moved. Sadly you will see the effects of the pine bark Beatle on the pine trees. Good place to get used to altitude.
