The area is known for high peaks looming over alpine lakes and tundras. Although the James Peak Wilderness is a great place to hike because of its scenic lakes, hikers typically visit during the summer. The area receives heavy snowfall during the winter, making the trails difficult to traverse and endure. Elevations range from 9,000 to 13,000 ft and with the added panoramic views of the alpine lakes, the James Peak Wilderness is still a great hiking destination despite the limited availability.

Starting from the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel, hike through magical old-growth pine forest to several potential destinations - from awesome alpine lakes and towering cirques to the continental divide and 13er James Peak itself, if you're up for the challenge. Open year-round for snowshoeing and hike-in skiing (advanced skills required). I recommend checking Alltrails.com or Hikingproject.com to familiarize yourself with current trail difficulty and conditions.
