Located within the Boulder Ranger District, James Peak Lake Trail
lies above the timberline at 11,600' elevation. From the trailhead,
James Peak Lake Trail drops 500' in 0.5 miles as it travels to James
Peak Lake. At the bottom of the slope, near where it enters the trees,
the Ute Trail forks right (north). To get to James Peak Lake, follow the
trail which stays on an old wagon road, west (left another 0.7 miles up
the valley.
