Shealor Lake(edit)

Overview

This is a moderate out and back trail to Shealor Lake in Eldorado National Forest, mostly easy, but there are some steep sections which could preclude its use by young children and very small dogs. Attention must be paid to the rock cairns or "ducks" in order to stay on the trail. It is not always obvious. The views are spectacular and the terrain varies from forest to open, rocky ridges, and of course, the lake itself. In the spring, there are waterfalls. Parking is very easy in the lot next to the trailhead.
