Isabelle Glacier Trail

"from below: This lollipop trail in Brainard Lake Recreation Area offers different lengths depending on which parking lot is the starting point. If parking in the large lot near the Pawnee Campground, the total length is about 3.5 miles. If using the Niwot Parking Area, the trail is about 2.5 miles. And start in the Long Lake Parking Area, the trail dwindles to just two miles roundtrip. All options only have minimal elevation gain of less than 200 feet. Starting at the farthest lot, however, gives hikers some of the best views of the area, where the trail passes Brainard Lake, navigates along willows where moose are frequently spotted, and opens to a perspective of 13,229-foot Mount Audubon to the north."
