Quail Lake Trail Description
The Quail Lake Trail is a wonderful adventure that the whole family can enjoy. Hiking around the perimeter of the lake, you will be granted awe-inspiring vistas of the Front Range peaks that line the horizon in the west. Weaving between meadowlands and lush forests, this stimulating excursion is sure to please all of its adventurers. In the summer, be sure to wear sunscreen as the exposed sections of the path radiate heat!
Embark on your excursion along the Quail Lake Trail from East Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard parking lot. From here, head right and begin your trek along the north shore of Quail Lake. As you walk, you will be guided between sparse tree shade and exposed terrain that reveals epic mountain views. Continue trekking along the shore of the glittering lake, and you will eventually loop around, heading east.
This section of the path is increasingly forested as you track east. Eventually, the route will divert you north, delivering you back to the trailhead.
