Scarp Ridge Trail is what I believe to be one of the most beautiful trails in Colorado. It is moderate in difficulty, but beautiful every step of the way. Highly recommend if in the Crested Butte area.
High alpine lake.  Great hike.  3.5 miles from trail head.  431 elevation gain. Easy to hike, bike or xc ski.  Absolutely stunning especially with lilies.
Had such a beautiful trip to the wildflower festival this year! #adventure
