Trail Overview
Todd Lake TH is a mixed dirt and gravel trail starting from Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway (Co Hwy 46) that connects to Skyliners Rd. After the Todd Lake Day Use area, only 4wd is recommended. Although most of the trail is two vehicles wide, there are many sections where you should expect to pull off if you encounter other vehicles. This trail winds through both open rocky meadows and densely forested areas with many pull-offs for dispersed camping. You will definitely see many deer along the way. Todd Lake TH is rocky with ruts and potholes. The second half of the trail runs along the border of the Three Sisters Wilderness. Along much of the trail, you can see a small creek and a waterfall that adds to the beautiful scenery of this forest road.
