Lawn Lake (elevation 11,000 ft.) is one of the largest lakes in RMNP and fills a wide, flat basin at treeline ringed by Fairchild Mountain (13,502') Hagues Peak (13,650') and Mummy Mountain (13,425'). Crystal Lake (elevation 11,540 ft.) is a very scenic lake further uphill at the base of Fairchild Mountain.
