点评:We did this hike on August 1. We arrived at the parking lot (road wasn't too bad getting there in an SUV) at sunrise and started hiking at 6:30am. We didn't see anybody else on the way up to the first lake, which took us a little under 2 hours to reach.
Lower Blue Lake is absolutely stunning and definitely the main attraction of this hike. A lot of people I'm sure only make it to this lake and turn around, which would be a worthy destination. We enjoyed the views from the shoreline for about 45 min.
We headed up the very steep trail to Middle Blue Lake. On the way up you get incredible views of Lower Blue Lake below you, views which show the lake at its finest. At Middle Blue Lake, the color is fairly blue too but not quite as brilliant. You are completely above treeline here.
We continued up to Upper Blue Lake which we thought was nicer than Middle Blue Lake. A few people were fishing in the lake. We continued up a couple of switchbacks towards Blue Lakes Pass before we finally turned around.
All told we clocked the hike at just under 10 mi. RT and it took us about 7 hours to complete. It's hard to decide whether we liked this hike or nearby Ice Lakes Basin better. This one certainly gives Ice Lakes Basin a run for its money, and if you're able, try to do both if you're visiting the glorious San Juans of CO!
翻译:我们于 8 月 1 日进行了这次徒步旅行。我们在日出时到达停车场(乘坐 SUV 前往那里的路况还不错),并于早上 6:30 开始徒步旅行。在前往第一个湖泊的路上,我们没有看到其他人,我们花了不到 2 个小时才到达。
下蓝湖绝对令人惊叹,绝对是这次徒步旅行的主要景点。我敢肯定,很多人只到达这个湖就转身了,这是一个值得一去的目的地。我们在海岸线上欣赏了大约 45 分钟的景色。
我们沿着非常陡峭的小径前往中蓝湖。在途中,您可以欣赏到下方下蓝湖的壮丽景色,这些景色展示了湖泊最美的一面。在中蓝湖,颜色也相当蓝,但没有那么鲜艳。你完全在树线之上。
我们继续前往上蓝湖,我们认为它比中蓝湖更漂亮。有几个人在湖里钓鱼。我们继续沿着几个之字形山路向蓝湖山口走去,然后才最终转身。
总而言之,我们徒步的距离不到 10 英里。往返,我们花了大约 7 个小时完成。很难决定我们更喜欢这次徒步还是附近的冰湖盆地。这次徒步绝对可以与冰湖盆地一较高下,如果您有机会,如果您正在游览科罗拉多州壮丽的圣胡安,请尝试同时完成这两次徒步!
