Jul 19, 2018 — This hike was an add-on to some of the more interesting hikes I was doing for the day on Colorado's Grand Mesa. The mostly flat Lake of the Woods Trail had some nice views of the numerous lakes and ponds of the area as it alternated between forest and meadows. The trail continues for a long time, all the way to Cottonwood Lake, but I had enough flat hiking and decided to turn around at Bull Creek Reservoir #1 and #2, which felt like a good destination. If you're determined to see more, I imagine it's much of the same, a pretty forested landscape with some lakes.
