Considered a strenuous hike, Chasm Lake offers spectacular views just below the famous Long’s Peak, the highest peak in the park.

We’ll start this trail at 9,400 feet and steadily climb through a subalpine forest up to the alpine tundra. Here, you’ll cross a vast tundra meadow of rocks, and fragile plants - keep an eye out for marmots and pikas! At the Chasm Junction there is an outhouse available. We’ll get spectacular offers views into a deep gorge of Peacock Pool and Columbine Falls. After this, the trail turns to rock and you may need to use cairns to do easy rock climbing up the cirque to where the lake is located.
