Wheeler Lakes (Gore Range #60)

This trail enters the Eagles Nest Wilderness and provides great views of Copper Mountain Ski Area to the south and the Tenmile Range to the southeast. The trail climbs steadily up through aspen and lodgepole pine forests before reaching the two Wheeler Lakes. If you want a longer hike, then you can continue on the Gore Range Trail up to Lost Lake or to the top of Uneva Pass.* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail.
