Opal Lake, Pagosa Springs, CO

Left on Blanco Basin Road from US Hwy 84 south of Pagosa Springs for 10 miles, then Castle Creek Road for another 3.5 mi to the trailhead. This hike is a short 1.2 miles to the lake.
The trail was steep at the start and lined with Aspen and then opens into a meadow that leads to the lake.
Flower and butterflies everywhere.
Mineral deposits give the lake its milky color. A great mid summer hike. Absolutely perfect.... except for the mosquitoes.
