Lizard Rock Trailhead — photo spot in Co Rd 77, Lake George, CO 80827, USA
Lizard Rock Trailhead
Lizard Rock Trailhead leads to a distinctive granite outcrop and panoramic high-country views over the South Platte valley and Pike National Forest — ideal for dramatic rock foregrounds against wide skies. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and long shadows; late afternoon storm fronts in summer create dynamic clouds. Trailhead parking on Co Rd 77 (no fees); trail is moderate, high-altitude (dress in layers, bring water). Weekdays and shoulder seasons are quieter.
