In September 2019, I hiked to Trappers Peak and Lower Thornton Lake. It was 13.6 miles round trip with 3800 feet of elevation gain. To get to the Thornton Lakes Trailhead, take the Thornton Lakes Road (off of Hwy 20) for about 5 miles. The road is rough at times. The trail starts off relatively flat and then starts to gain elevation after 2 miles. At about 4.5 miles, there is a junction post that gives the direction to Trappers Peak or the Thornton Lakes. I climbed to Trappers Peak first and then when down to Lower Thornton Lake for a swim before heading back to the parking lot.
