| The Stone Lake Trail follows Roaring Fork Creek from its mouth, where it spills into Lake Granby toward its source. The beginning of the trail climbs very steeply, gaining 1,000 feet over the first two miles. Near the top of this steep section, visitors will see and hear Roaring Falls. Upon reaching the top of the wide switchbacks, the trail becomes much more gradual for the next two miles. Near the end of Roaring Fork valley, the trail splits off of Roaring Fork Creek, following side drainage up to a saddle between Hiamovi Mountain (to the north) and Mount Irving Hale (to the south). The trail then descends into Hell Canyon to its destination at Stone and Upper Lakes.This trail has been rated moderate with moderate use. Elevation ranges from 8,255 to 11,194 feet on this 6-mile (one way) trail. |
