Great hike, we finished in 4 hours which included time at the lake. Also saw a moose, lots of birds, and of course chipmunks. The first mile you will still hear i-70 traffic noise but it goes away after that. Beautiful hike along the creek at times I would say more like a river/miniwaterfalls. It is a lot of steep incline but the trail is clearly marked and you don't do much scrambaling with the exception of navigating across some logs in washed out areas.

Herman Gulch and Lake
Gorgeous November day. Occasional snow, ice and mud. Pond before the lake dried up. Not very busy. Lake mostly frozen over.
