Chaffee County Colorado Hiking Trails

Hunts Lake Trail #1405

Pike & San Isabel National Forest, Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands, National Forest in Colorado

Available for Hiking & Horseback riding, the 8.0 mile Hunts Lake Trail begins at an elevation of 9,000' and reaches it's high point (11,500') at the lake. Hunts Lake is in a tight basin glacial cirque, with trees along the lake shore.

To reach Hunts Lake Trail, travel 3 miles east from Salida Colorado along Highway 50 and turn right (south) onto CR 101.
The dirt CR 101 becomes somewhat rugged after the first 2 miles. Continue along CR 101 until you reach the Rainbow Trail (end of road). There is only parking for 3 large vehicles at the Rainbow Trail. From this point, travel east along Rainbow Trail for 5 miles. Just 25' before you reach a switchback (Rainbow Trail continues to the southwest) you will see a road leading to private property on the downhill side. Just opposite of this road is the Hunts Lake Trail.
