White River NF — Eagle-Holy Cross RD

Comanche Lake is a 2.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the White River National Forest's Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District. The trail provides access to an alpine lake setting within the national forest. This out-and-back route requires hiking to the lake destination and returning via the same path. The trail is managed by the US Forest Service through the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District, ensuring maintenance and access as part of the White River National Forest system. The relatively short distance makes this trail accessible for hikers seeking a modest day hike without requiring a full backpacking expedition. The destination lake offers a natural turnaround point for visitors. The specific elevation gain for this trail has not been documented. Hikers should be prepared for conditions typical of Colorado's high-altitude terrain and should check current trail conditions and any seasonal closures with the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District before visiting.
