Eagle County Colorado Hiking Trails
|
White River National Forest
Beginning as an old mining road, 3 mile Nolan Lake Trail
passes through a meadow and the upper town of Fulford at 0.25 mile and a
series of old log cabins, just before crossing Nolan Creek. After crossing
the creek the trail heads east up White Quail Gulch. At the fork, continue
right going downhill towards the creek, the trail is then level before
becoming fairly steep with exposed rocks and roots. The trail then takes a
left curve up a large sloping gray rock near a talus slope and
waterfall. Near the end, the trail travels westward going up and over
a ridge before descending through wet meadows to Nolan Lake. To reach Nolan Lake Trail from
Eagle Colorado, travel south along Brush Creek Road for 10 miles to the fork
of East and West Brush Creek. Turn left onto East Brush Creek Road (FR 415)
and continue another 10 miles, passing Yeoman Park. After passing the park
turn left at the first switchback onto FR 418. Continue along FR 418 for
3.75 miles to the trailhead on the right.
