Fourmile Loop

The fourmile loop (Fourmile Trail and Anderson Trail) is a wonderful backpacking trip in the Weminuche. Below are pictures from a recent excursion:


Fourmile Falls; located about 3 miles from trailhead. The hike to Fourmile falls is a beautiful hike and great for a day trip, if backpacking isn't your goal.


Upper fourmile falls - both are visible from the trail, before you reach fourmile falls. The hike to this spot gets very steep.


3 miles from the falls, and about 1800 feet in elevation, you arrive at Fourmile Lake. It's a gorgeous setting...and we were lucky to have great weather while at the lake.

A morning picture of the lake. The reflection was incredible.


The hike down Anderson Trail. The scenery was incredible - but after a little afternoon shower, we had to put the camera away. Just a reason to go back and hike that section again!

Happy trails!
