Leon Lake 2.5

Leon Lake Jeep trail goes between Cedaredge and Vega Reservoir.  A scenic trip, although a bit rocky and bumpy through the center portion.

Leon Lake is a beautiful lake at a little over 10,000' elevation.

We did this tail in August without any mud problems, but I would not suggest it if the ground is wet.  A few mud holes could be questionable.

The entire trip from Highway 65 on the south to Road 330 on the north is 30 miles.  It took us 5-6 hours, including a few geocaches, airing down/up, lunch and a flat tire.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Both ends of the trail have large stands of aspen, while the center has extensive areas with open parks and nice views.
