Forest Lakes Trailhead on Rollins Pass Rd is a clean launch point for alpine hiking toward mirror-like lakes and dramatic tundra ridgelines. For photographers, it offers quick composition variety—forest shadows, rocky trail textures, and open-sky mountain backdrops—especially when clouds break over the Continental Divide. Parking is limited; arrive early and check winter road conditions.
