The 8.4 RT trail to Chasm Lake starts at the Long's Peak trail head near Estes Park Colorado. Paul and I hiked to Chasm Lake on our way down from hiking to the Keyhole of Long's Peak in late July, 2013. This trail is open year round and is open for snow shoeing in the winter. Chasm Lake trail is a great day hike passing through lush green forest, crossing streams, views of waterfalls, Peacock Lake, finally ending with a steep ascent over boulders to get up to the lake. There is an elevation gain of 2,489'. There are at least (2) "privy" (open air latrines) along the way. The lake is beautiful, clear and peaceful with Long's Peak towering above. We thoroughly enjoyed this hike! |
