Overview
This is a difficult out and back trail to Booth Lake in White River National Forest.
Most people only hike to the falls, that's a short hike, but if you choose to continue to the lake you will be rewarded with the beauty of a scenic alpine lake and you may even see some mountain goats hanging nearby.
Getting Started
Easy access to the trail near Vail off of Interstate 70

Booth Lake
Bev and I have been to more than a few alpine lakes, and this is one of the more scenic.
Booth Falls lies halfway up and is a draw for a lot of visitors. Far fewer people venture beyond the falls. (The Falls are just so-so, compared to the vistas at the Lake.)

Forgot rain jacket. Made it to lake with Clay and Tristen. Too rainy so no one attempted the spider and the fly. Had to walk from the highway. No parking at trailhead
