linkins lake trail印象

This is a moderately difficult walk for those of us not acclimated to the high elevation. Nothing technical but your lungs will let you know you are at 12,000 feet! Beautiful vista from most of the trail. It is located just before Independence Pass (another must see) coming from Aspen. Bring some water, maybe a picnic. Definitely worth it!

This is a short hike to an alpine lake. There are few hikers so one can find solitude on this trail.

This is a great little trail to acclimate to the high altitude before attempting one of the longer hikes (Lost Man Loop). It will take about 30 minutes of steady climbing before you come upon a beautiful alpine lake, have some lunch watching the sun reflect on the shimmering water, and head back down.

You may have trouble breathing up here, some of it is above tree line, but many the experience is incomparable.

This hike was great, through lots of alpine meadows in beautiful bloom. However, the best part was that we followed the ranger's advice - after viewing the lake, instead of getting back on "main" trail, you will see a smaller trail heading farther up the mountain. This path leads up to an abandoned mining camp and we kept climbing up to the snow lines. The view was so amazing and there was no one up there. Like most hikes, you want to do this in the morning as it is in the sun, no shade, and there is a better chance of rain/thunderstorms in the early afternoon. Highly recommend - it was one of our favorite hikes due to alpine meadows and vista views.

Short, steep trail to small mountain lake near Independence Pass, views all around

The trail-head is at the hairpin turn before the main overlook spot at independence pass. not a super difficult hike (im 28 and in decent shape). I went with my fiance and we were the only people on the mountain, which was a nice change from some of the crowded hikes. When you get to the lake, look to the left and you will see a trail going up the side of the mountain. If you follow this up it will lead you to an abandon cabin and old mine. it will also give you an awesome view of the Rockies and Linkins Lake below. I HIGHLY recommend doing this, its not too much of an extra hike. As a warning, this second portion does get very steep and the trail does get harder to follow. If I figured it out, i imagine everyone else could too. the hike took us about three hours but we took our time.

Starts at 11,506 ft elevation and goes to 12,008 ft at the lake. The wildflowers are gorgeous in July.

This is a great quick hike that starts just off highway 82. Roundtrip is 1.25 miles and will take about 1 hour. Elevation gain is about 500 feet from trailhead at 11,505 feet to the lake at 12,015 feet. There are great views of peaks on the Continental Divide and the very peaceful lake! The whole hike is above timberline. Wait until July to do this hike or it may be snowed in due to late snowmelt at this altitude. I did this hike in October and there was a small amount of snow on the trail. Hiking boots were fine -- no need for crampons. Make sure you dress warmly. Start early in the day to avoid possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. Directions to trailhead: take highway 82 east from Aspen 18 miles to 0.2 miles past mile marker 59. Parking area is on hairpin turn on the road.

This hike brings you out of Aspen up Independence Pass, so you are already going to see amazing views. The trail is somewhat vertical, and not too long, but a good workout. What you will see is beautiful views, waterfalls, flora and fauna, and a glacier lake surrounded by mountains. This is one of my favorite places to hike on a sunny day.
