I've been up this trail several times, but never when the winds were calm. This view came from high above the Lower Blue Lake along the Blue Lakes Trail, and I think this is one of the most beautiful vistas in Colorado. The water is a turquoise color, and in the spring, wildflowers fill the slopes. The trail leads further up to the Middle and Upper Blue Lakes, as well, and more grand views await.
