The Crazy Mountains are dotted with stunning alpine lakes, and Campfire Lake might be the loveliest of them all. To get there, follow the Trespass Creek Trail as it meanders through a draw along its namesake creek, diving in and out of shady trees and rolling meadows. After a steep climb, you’ll crest a ridge high above Campfire Lake. Enjoy the breathtaking views and wind down the other side of the pass to the wildflower meadows on the lakeshore. Turn around for a 12-mile day, or pitch a tent and enjoy the sunset over the walls of the rocky cirque.
