    Came here to run and hike. I parked not at the head of the trail because I don't have a 4WD, but I didn't have to walk too far. The path was mostly in the trees so there wasn't a very good view most of the time, but when there was a view, it was pretty great. The trail was also quite snowy although packed, so running on it wasn't too bad although I almost slipped a few times. Hiking was alright though. I ran one way and then hiked back, was on the trail for about 2 hours 40 minutes total.

    Amazing spot to come bbq, paddle board, hike, mountain bike, or just explore and take photos at. Twin Lakes is such a jaw-dropping landscape to come do anything at. I rode my mountain bike around a side of the lake and it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

    From Denver, last Sunday June 08 2008 we took a drive all the way to Twin Lakes, Colorado. I cant deny it was indeed a long long drive for us. But its all worth the trip! Its 213 miles Southwest of Denver on Colorado 82. Twin Lakes is located near Leadville. A serene place to be I cant deny. With the majestic mountains and views that awaits you, indeed its breathtaking. Among other reasons, why I want to explore Twin Lakes, coz right in front of Twin Lakes, stood the HIGHEST MOUNTAIN in Colorado named Mount Elbert. Mount Elbert which stood tall @ 14 400ft. Twin Lakes, no matter how far you are situated, definitely I shall return. To explore further its beauty of flora and fauna. To experience God's creation of you... A definite paradise for backpackers, hikers and anglers alike. To add glory about Twin Lakes, it was added in the Colorado Scenic Byways named as Top Of The Rockies. The links you can find about Twin Lakes are here: http://www.coloradobyways.org http://www.byways.org/ If you happen to drive along this area or to be near this premises please do share your views... Just a little reminder, take as many photographs you can, leave footprints.... likewise what Leave No Trace upholds... "Take Only Photos, Leave Only Foot Prints"....

    Near Leadville, Twin Lakes is a gorgeous area....which I will always associate with the Colorado essence: its aspens, crystal clear waters, and beautiful mountain vistas (Sorry Colorado, but you need to work on your cities). The Twin Lakes area itself has a few sanctioned campgrounds, but let me tell you from experience that off-roading it is by far the best way to get the prime spots. Naturally, if you are really into backpacking, this is an even better option. There are hidden waterfalls up here, as well as trails that are almost always deserted. That said, the lakes themselves can be boated on, but even in July the water at this altitude is damn cold. Leadville is near-by for services, as is the modest ski are Ski Cooper. Not the hardest peak in Colorado by any means, this still is one of the least crowded (except maybe for Cuchara). Great Colorado area that is not that far from Boulder, Denver, or even the Beach.

    One of the great turns to Aspen. Nice place to stay for a while and enjoy the sight of water in this splendid land-locked state.

    I've rafted with Liquid Descent multiple times, and every single trip has been a 5-star experience!…read moreThe guides are not only experts at keeping you safe, but they also make sure you have an unforgettable time on the river. This year, I went early season on Clear Creek and loved it so much I came back late season for Gore Canyon- an adrenaline-packed, fun adventure! The day started with a swim test to make sure everyone was prepared before tackling Class V rapids. (Honestly, if you're not a strong swimmer, this trip isn't for you, they do test your swimming in the rapids and throughout the trip over half of the people across our 5 rafts ended up in the water at some point! Additionally this would be quite the dive into the deep end if you've never rafted before!) The trip was an incredible mix of thrills, skill, and crazy beautiful scenery you would not have guessed was there when you drive into Kremmling. Midway through, we stopped for snacks, and when we wrapped up, the crew served a delicious lunch and cold beers (NA options were there too!) such a nice touch after a big day! What sets Liquid Descent apart is the crew. Every guide I've had has been dedicated to making the trip special. I've talked to them and many of them have said they specifically choose to work here because of the company's extra training and the sense of community. I even met the owner yesterday at Gore Canyon, and you can tell the company's passion for customer experience comes directly from the top. Specifically the last 2 guides I've had, Jordan and Malia have been awesome! Yes, most rafting companies use the same put-in/take-out points and similar gear but the experience is what makes the difference. With Liquid Descent, the guides make sure it's the best it can be and their love for their job ensures you're going to have a great time. I've rafted with other companies in locations where liquid descent isnt and know: the right guide changes everything. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting trip in Colorado, Liquid Descent is the company to go with!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Liquid Descent. My daughter and I signed…read moreup for the beginner rafting trip... and while she was excited... I was terrified. I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!
