The splendid Wild Basin area south of Longs Peak and east of the
Continental Divide is dotted with lakes of superb beauty in a sublime
mountain setting. It is entered from Copeland Lake by an unimproved road
up the North Fork of St. Vrain Creek, which soon lapses into a trail.
From mountain tops on the south may be had unsurpassed views of the
snowy mountains. The largest lakes of Wild Basin--Thunder Lake and
Bluebird Lake--are both above timberline but are easily accessible by
trails.
