This was our last hike on our way out of the park. I believe the trailhead is right inside the West Park entrance. Be sure to pack a couple bottles of water, as the hike up is fairly steep (the 10,000' to 10,500' elevation over the saddleback of a ridge, took us 1.5 hrs to hike up, then theres a 200' hike down to the lakes. middle Gaylor Lake is what you see as you top the ridge, then you can hike down and to your right and find upper Gaylor Lake. Those were the ones we hiked to & they were beautiful. We had a picnic lunch overlooking the middle lake & listened to the frogs. Saw a hummingbird moth which I'd never even heard of but was fascinating, and a Marmot.

We ate here based on our AirBNB hosts recommendation. Although we had a 35 minute wait due to the popularity of the restaurant, the food was worth waiting for. The sweet potato fries, BBQ burger, and various salads were of the highest quality and very fresh. Also the locally brewed beer is also a plus to go along with the food. Even though we're only here for a few days we'll probably go back.
