Willow Lake
Small high‑alpine lake framed by the Sangre de Cristo peaks — excellent for reflected mountain portraits, intimate foregrounds and autumn colors. Best at sunrise or sunset for low-angle light and mirror reflections; calm mornings give best water stillness. Accessible via a short to moderate trail; expect high‑altitude conditions, sudden weather changes, and limited parking at the trailhead. No entry fee but follow leave‑no‑trace and seasonal trail closures.
