How to Get a Perfect Reflection on the Mirror Lake Lone Eagle Peak Hike

Thanks for watching this local guide to hiking to Lone Eagle Peak (or Mirror Lake), Colorado. The ancestral home of the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne people. It’s always worth noting that just because these tribes all inhabited this space, does not mean they were a monolith. In fact, there is a lot of controversial history between these groups. Tread with respect.
Fox in the Forest aims to empower you to get outside. Covering incredible outdoor locations in Colorado, the American Southwest, and Lake Tahoe, I want you to travel like a local, not a tourist.
As always, visit wild spaces responsibly! Always pack out your trash including water bottles, fruit peels, toilet paper, and anything else you bring with you. Leave only footprints.
Follow all closures, fire bans, drone regulations (no drones in the Indian Peaks Wilderness), and dog rules - your dog must be leashed.
