Inter-Laken Hike Along Twin Lakes
Here we are at beautiful Twin Lakes. We were here last year to drive up CO-82 and explore Independence Pass as well as hike to Linkins Lake. It was an 11,000 to over 12,000 foot adventure! The problem was it was only nice, make that great, weather the morning of those adventures. The rest of that day and every day spent in Twin Lakes it rained interspersed with terrible wildfire smoke. So here we are: try, try again!
On the south side of the Twin Lakes is a hike to an historic resort known as Inter-Laken. Starting around 1890 it was one of the finest resorts in all the Rocky Mountains. Also one of the most expensive. More on this later, but here we are at the trailhead, so let’s go! This is for you Howard.
