Herman Gulch Lake hike 1.5 hours from Denver
A few of us, and McMoose, participated in a hike this past weekend to Herman Gulch Lake. This hike is about 90 minutes from Denver, right off highway I-70 just past Georgetown and right before Loveland Ski Area and the Eisenhower tunnel.
This 7 mile hike is fairly difficult, you’ll be breathing hard as you hike up this trail with almost no switchbacks. We also found this trail to be quite popular, as we heard it is listed in some of the more popular hiking books. It was also the weekend during peak summer in late June.
As you will see from the pictures below, the rewards in terms of scenery at the end of the hike make it worth the tough workout hiking uphill.
