St. Vrain Basin - Island Lake | Indian Peaks Wilderness
July 2021
Starting from the St. Vrain Mountain trailhead outside of Allenspark on a rainy morning, the trail proved steep right away, but the lush scenery of wildflowers provided a good balance. Trekking over St. Vrain Mountain and descending into the basin, the rain intensified, leaving the trail and the surrounding wilderness sodden and soggy.
