Enjoyed the video, so beautiful. Years ago, with my dog, we hiked down to the upper Chicago Lake from Summit Lake. Yes, at the top of that plateau above the upper lake is Summit Lake. You pointed out the trail to it in your video. It may not be open. It was steep and loose. My dog encountered a skunk which thankfully did not, you know. The second time I went on the Chicago Lakes trail I only had a little bit of time, late in the day, started at Echo Lake and went as far as the where the trail opens up to the road. Still a wonderful hike.

Keep it up girls! I hope you post some more hikes this summer 😊

Thanks for putting everything together. My bro and I are looking at this one for Saturday. 😊

Love it❣️Just did Bierstadt on 9/6/23 you two are awesome- more KZfaq videos please❤️

Hi Taylor and Sam. Just discovered your channel today while looking for videos on this hike. Will be leaving Rapid City South Dakota next Tuesday and spending 4 nights in Manitou Springs and 4 nights in Denver. Hoping to hike Devils Head on Sunday the 24th. Sorry you missed out on the views but the fog made things look cool and mysterious. Was looking through your list of videos and your have a lot of stuff I’m interested in so I did subscribe. Have a good day

I'm going this week thanks for the advice. And nice hoodie, go bobcats

My 11 year old granddaughter just made it to the upper lake as her first ever hike. I think "hard" is a bit of an overestimation.

I just like to hike up first..and enjoy the down more! 😊

Did this yesterday..it was a tough one for me and my daughter but we sooo appreciated the scenery..it was super beautiful. Nice hike.

Dope vid ✌️ Abt to hit it up soon live nearby

Really fun hike, and with the music flowing it made for a good one. Thanks for sharing. We loved it, shout out from the PNW! <33

looked like a cool hike! So there's people working in the tower, and have to deal with hikers looking in the windows all day long?

Gorgeous hike my friend, weather seems to be perfect for hiking! Love atmosphere here! 🔥🔥

My back hurts just watching you carry a backpack and a baby up to the top. But that looks like a trail I could actually do, without a baby anyway.

Glad y'all are back, Keep em coming!

Yay!! Y’all are back 🙌🏼 Lake Haiyaha is a great hike! Glad you guys enjoyed it 💜

Hey, a video from y'all!!! Hope to see more! That's Long's Peak with the flat summit way in the back at 2:08 and 4:07, the tallest mountain in the park and the only 14er in it.

Glad you guys are back! Enjoy your videos!

The coolest people in the COUNTRY are up there!

I work the Iron Springs Chateau parking lot, I got 400 climbs.

I was up there this week. The summit views are some of the best anywhere. There are some fake trails that seem to lead down in different directions. I somehow followed one and by the time I realized it, didn't want to go all the way back up, so bushwacked my way down to the road, west of the trailhead. A mistake I don't plan to make again. I will study the trail as it enters the summit next time. I live on the west side, and it's about 3 miles to the trailhead. Yesterday I ran from home to the summit of Cutler, maybe a 4 mile run each way. Next will be Muscoco which is a little harder, but the 3 mile approach is the same so it's do-able. My plan is to incorporate a weekly Muscoco run into my workout routine. I live 1/2 mile from the Pure Bouldering gym, one block from the Cresta Pump MTB park, with MTB trails going everywhere from there, and a couple of blocks from the high school, which has an olympic size pool open to the public. The west side of CO Springs is really the best when it comes to outdoor sports, and never a problem with motivation if the destination is a summit like this one.

Do you recommend Mohawk Lakes or this one for a one time visit to CO?

Hold the phone, Beatrice.... We tried this hike 2 weeks ago, basing it a lot on your video. Granted, we are some older than you two. We made it to Jewell Lake, and clouds were building, so we headed back. What your video didn't describe, was that a great deal of the trail to Mills Lake and beyond was not flat, modest Sierra-grade smooth trail, but rather a whole lotta stepping up/down on 30 inch stone steps and a trail littered with embedded rocks the size of footballs and basketballs!--hard to enjoy the scenery when you're trying not to fall. The only "easy" part of this hike was the one up to the Falls. Definitely, buyer-be-ware of this hike, it is not as advertised here.

You crushed! I tried to hike my toddler up and we got to 13600, than i had to tap out. That mountain is sooo tough. Also got rained on coming up the stairs to the parking lot lol. Had to jump on KZfaq and catch the views I missed so thanks for posting this 💜💜

What’s the earliest time u can start ?!

Very informative well made video... Thanks a lot...

I enjoyed watching your videos.

When did you go?

Nice one, very helpful with my planning cheers.

I’m using your video as guide we are coming from Texas trying to do this hike on May 26 🤭

Awesome! Wow had no idea how congested it can get at the top, still pretty amazing though

Just did this hike but my phone died so I couldnt record it all, it wasn’t as lush as in your video.

What month did you go?

Omg! I’m worried about the bathroom situation :/

Me and a few buddies are doing this in May PUMPED

McCullough Gulch Trail / 3D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brpmnLZ83tKsYqc.html

Can’t wait to hike this in May! Also, is the weather pretty warm in May?

... Always a good starter lake for a conditioning hike ,and both Silver Dollar and Murrey have fish to play with .... Naylor is private , (membership only)so no need to bother with that one ... I used to go here for my first hike each year for about 15 years ,, short but still makes you breathe hard ... a couple of nice Columbine patches along the way , and playful singing Marmots to chatter with ... ..Thanks for the memories ... You really picked some good treks since starting this channel ....Stay Safe and God Bless ....

...lol... KILLER BIRDS !! Have been there many times , the first mile from the lakes sign will sure test your wind ,, total of 6 lakes on up the trail ,, decent fishing ... most people don't go past 2nd lake ,, Mohawk #2 ... but if you want to camp the upper basin is also beautiful and very few people ,, Good place to work your map and compass skills ..Don't rely on tech devices only ....... there are a number of different trails that will get into this area ,, in and out and also loops ........Stay Safe ...Had Never seen any Killer Birds ... But did have lunch with a Sasquatch once .....

Enjoyed the video. What camera do you use, what selfie-stick? Do you use a gimbal? If not, how do you keep the camera steady on your face while walking? Rookie questions, I know.

Grab the free maps they give out. Btw,its , a city park.

Was it cold?

Hey! Did you go in September or October?

Hey that was a pretty good video appreciate you girls posting it, I’m in Colorado for a few months on work and I will be attempting to take on this trail this Sunday as my first exploration of the Colorado mountains. I hope I can lose a few pounds😉

Awesome hike! Thanks for sharing your experience with us

You should make steak when you reach the top of anything past 15k!

Good video! Slow and steady wins the race.

You scared her! Lol

Great views from the top! That rocky terrain up high is very difficult to navigate. Nice vid. Thanks for posting. Will be following!

Awesome I love it you guys are awesome 🤩 thanks
