Herman Lake

Old Sawmill Road and Watrous Gulch

Two trails branch from this location, Herman Gulch starts on the old sawmill road to the left and Watrous Gulch begins in the trees to the right. On Watrous Gulch above treeline wildflowers cover the ground like a quilt. On Herman Gulch, near the top of the trail, rock cairns lead the way to Herman Lake. This trail is a leg of the Continental Divide.
