About 45 min. N of Silverthorne on the way to Kremmling and Steamboat are several mountain lakes and reservoirs. One such lake is called Lower Cataract. This is fed by the Upper Cataract Lake which is several thousand feet higher up Mt. Powel. One can drive along a hard packed somewhat rocky road (shouldn't have taken the Tesla) to a trail head which is about 1/2 mile from the lake. There is a beautiful trail around the circumference of the lake which is less than 4 miles and end up back at the trail head with picnic tables to enjoy a lunch. That's exactly what I did yesterday with several of my friends here in Summit County. Cindy and Brian Atlas, Susan Meyer, Brent and Eileen Ladd , Susan's friend Laurie from Austin as well and the Atlas kids and grandkids....
