This alpine lake was actually the first leg/night of a 3-day backpacking loop around this cluster of mountains. 
Eventually the Kilpacker trail dumps into the Navajo Lake trails and quickly climbs up to the super scenic alpine lake at 11,200ft. That last mile really kicked my rear! 
The next morning I was spooked by a momma Black bear and her cub twice coming within 100ft of my camp as I was packing up. 
Afterwards I continued east dropping into Bilk Creek and taking the awe inspiring Lizard Head trail up and over the 12K foot pass while passing by many gushing waterfalls and of course the funky looking Lizard Head Peak with snowy Wilson & Gladstone Peaks looming up above. So flipping jaw dropping! 
Having got my fill of Colorado goodness, I dropped down from the pass & back below the treeline and finally back to my car at Cross Mt TH to make the LONG drive back home...
