About this water
The Ute-Sweetwater Trail runs north from Sweetwater Lake to Big Springs along the eastern edge of W Mountain and the Flat Tops Wilderness. The trail climbs steeply out of Sweetwater Lake before entering forest for the remainder of the trip. Like may trails in this area of the Flat Tops, this trail offers access to numerous other trails and round trips of varying lengths are possible.
