Jet lake is also located in the Flat Tops wilderness area so no vehicles allowed but is only about a 15 to 20 minute hike to the lake (an easy pretty flat hike) then about another 15 minute hike into shadow lake , about 15 mor into blair lake and about 15 more into crater lake.
Elk lakes are located about 5 minutes from the wilderness area only 1/2 mile to the parking for jet lakes.

Do pop by Shadow Lake right next door to Jet Lake, it's a picturesque lake,  
   and get yourself into a kayak and hit Colorado River.
This lake is so wonderful. Clarion Collection Glenwood Springs is a good place to get some rest, and there are nice places to look at along the Fayville Trail. And that's not all you can do here at Jet Lake. If you need a site to stay Quality Inn & Suites is a pleasant choice; Jet Lake is fine enough to spend more than a day at, Bison Lake Campground is a fine local campground. Camping at Supply Basin
 
               Campground is always a wonderful experience, and going for a hike on the Oyster Lake Trail is always a good adventure.
At Jet Lake you can distinguish Blair Mountain, and don't leave Jet Lake without first going for a hike along the Last Chance Trail. Blair Lake is a nearby lake that you could go to, and Sunlight Mountain is a delightful local ski area. This lake is so wonderful.

located at the foot of Blair Mountain Adams Lake is well worth the trip. Definatly a 4 wheel drive Jeep Trail but only a few miles from Elk lakes, Jet lake, Shadow Lake, Blair lakes , Crater Lake, Deep lake and bison lake. Lots of Cut throat trout, rainbows and browns.
