Location Information
The trail goes through areas of lush vegetation. Large, dense stands of trees make it a beautiful area to hike through, and also provide the opportunity to spot wildlife. Lily Lake trail has three ridges it crosses which make it seem longer than it actually is. It is not maintained and can be very difficult to find in places. Lily Lake Trail is mostly in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area and is heavily used by horseback riders.
