Anyone been to lake Bighorn? I backbacked there about 10 years ago...need help finding it??
From Tom Kelley's Colorado Fishing Guide
I found a Bighorn Lake in North Park but no Lake Bighorn...there is only one...here is the verbiage...look for trail 1126 in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness...Lakes in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness include Lake Katherine (9860 ft; 22 acres) Bighorn Lake (10,000 ft; 17 acres) at the headwaters of Lone Pine Creek, Ute Lake (9750 ft, 6 acres), Twin Lake (9800 ft; 37 acres) on Lake Creek and Peggy Lake and Blue Lake (11,165 ft; 10 acres and 10,000 ft; 6 acres, respectively). These lakes are in high, rugged country, often at or above timberline and are tough to reach. They offer brook and cutthroat, and some mackinaw in the larger, deeper waters.
Sound like the right spot?
