Mirror Lake is a hard hike in Colorado's Flat Tops Wilderness, part of the Blanco Ranger District of the White River National Forest. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs about 2,300 feet from a low point of 8,312 feet to a high of 10,037 feet, and it is about 7 miles long. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trailhead is called Mirror Lake Trailhead. The route is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. It is open year-round, and the parking is at the Mirror Lake Trailhead. The North Fork White River, a canoeing route, lies just 0.4 miles away. Anderson Reservoir and Picket Pin Lily Pond are both about 2.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Himes Peak Campground is about 3.2 miles away.
