Red Rock Lake

Highlight • Lake

If you're looking for a picturesque spot off the beaten path, you should definitely check out Red Rock Lake. At an elevation of around 10,500 feet, this hidden gem is often overshadowed by Brainard Lake, but it's worth a visit. The lake offers stunning reflections and vibrant colors, making it a photographer's paradise, especially during sunrise or after sunset. Red Rock Lake is located inside the Brainard Lake Recreational Area off the Peak to Peak Highway (Hwy 72) near Ward, CO. You can visit the area throughout the summer and into October without a fee if you are on your bike.
