The 4 mile hike around Monarch Lake is a family favorite, and the drive around the southern end of the lake (follow signs for Arapahoe Bay off of Highway 34, a few miles south of our neighborhood) to access the trailhead is simply stunning. The trailhead is about a 30-minute drive from Lakeview Haven, and the access road is gravel.

You'll likely travel over Berthoud Pass to get into Grand County and get to Lakeview Haven. It's a gorgeous, twisty drive during any season. Be sure to stop at the top if the weather is nice to get a view of the Continental Divide.
