South Crestone Lake, Sangre De Cristo Mountains, Saguache County, Colorado

    User input for South Crestone Lake, Sangre De Cristo Mountains, Saguache County, Colorado:

Trevor Mitchell:
Trail is awful, disappearing and reappearing every now and again. Thorn bushes and trash cover what little trail is easy to navigate. Trail disappears completely before you actually reach the lake. Also it appears that an axe murderer has taken up residence in the upperwoods. Be careful and travel in large groups if you plan to try and make it to the lake. It is easy to get lost so mark your trail well.
