A weekday evening seemed liked a good time to hit a few lakes that I’ve had on my Eagles Nest list for a few years. Salmon and Willow lakes are some of the closest and easiest to access high alpine lakes from the town of Silverthorne.
After dropping my pack off at the Willowbrook trailhead, I drove my car a half mile down to one of the 72 hour parking lots. Overnight parking is not allowed at the true trailhead, so I took the opportunity to scarf down my bagel and cream chee, while walking through the urbanite spice of the neighborhood.
