American Rocky Mountains -Crystal Lake

The hike to Crystal Lake was moderate to difficult. It is about 6 miles from Maroon Bells in the White River National Forest. At the beginning of the trail, it was so narrow and wooded; you wondered when this was going to end? After about 3 and half miles, then you finally came to open potion of the trail, where you can see mountains and wild flowers in the open field. All of the sudden you tell yourself all this hard work is worth it. Then when you finally saw the lake, you know you had to do it.
