Mitchell Lake

By Mike Loughrin, CEO for Transformance Advisors

Northwest of Boulder

Summer is a great time to hike the mountain trails near Boulder. The Mitchell Lake Trail is one of the best.

Located about 25 miles northwest of Boulder is the Brainard Lake Recreation Area. It is set in a glacially-carved valley with the high peaks of the Indian Peaks Wilderness area looming to the west.

The Mitchell Lake Trail is a nice walk through the mountain forest which will take us to a couple of lakes and, if we are lucky, provide a great chance to see a moose.

Bring water, snacks, camera, and your Director of Adventure.
