I really can’t say enough good things about the Mount McCrae / Loomis Lake outing. I highly recommend this for any Rockies adventure seeker who likes reasonable (but still rough) bike approaches, wonderful hiking trails through larch forest and sublime backcountry lake scenery. The hiking and scrambling along this route is excellent – on trails from the parking area all the way to the headwall. Bring your fishing rod and tent for added fun. This is a little slice of heaven along the Great Divide that any (responsible) backcountry user should experience at least once. I know that I will be back some day to enjoy the peace a little longer.
