Wheeler Lake - Alma, Colorado

Popular offroad trail to high-mountain lake.

Trail climbs up beautiful valley to high mountain lake with waterfall. Pass directly under historic Magnolia Mill. Gorgeous seasonal wildflowers. Fun during early-season runoff. Take a fishing pole.

Several large rock obstacles. Very narrow in spots with tight brush that can scratch paint, especially when squeezing by other vehicles. Water rushes down the trail during early season snow melt. Although we cannot recommend this trail for stock SUVs, more aggressive models can do it.
