Advanced Snowshoe – Brainard Lake Rec Area - Lake Isabelle

Embark on an advanced snowshoe adventure from the Brainard Lake Winter Parking Lot to Lake Isabelle, covering over 11 miles round trip with approximately 1,300 feet of elevation gain. The route winds through serene alpine forests and open meadows, offering stunning views of snow-covered peaks and frozen Brainard Lake along the way. Reaching the dramatic, icy expanse of Lake Isabelle, nestled beneath Shoshoni Peak, Apache Peak, and Navajo Peak, rewards snowshoers with a pristine winter wonderland experience.

Hiking – Rifle Mountain Park

This is an exploratory trip to visit the incredible ice caves in Rifle Mountain Park, just north of Rifle Co. We'll round out the day with a visit to nearby Rifle Falls State Park. Rifle Falls won't be completely frozen but the mist from the Falls creates beautiful hoarfrost on the surrounding vegetation. Great photographic opportunities at both sites!
