Chinns Lake Colorado

Chinns Lake Colorado

This lake is beautiful and can be accessed by car or by hiking up. If driving up, you definitely need a higher lifted vehicle and a ton of confidence in your driving. The road is as narrow as a hiking trail and there is a chance you’ll see another car and have to try to squeeze past them on the cliff side. Parking is also limited at the top. Although I drove up this trail, I would recommend hiking the 2 or 3 miles for peace of mind. There are several camping spots at the top around the lake. Gorgeous views, open sky and a cool dilapidated cabin in the water.
