Goldrun Lake Trail
This short, easy hike through the forest leads to a quiet, little subalpine lake that has been stocked with trout. Huckleberry pickers will enjoy this walk in the fall. There is a camping area without facilities at the outlet of the lake. More adventurous hikers, with route finding skills, can continue up to Perry Pass and over Nogalski Peak to Richmond Lake.
