Hiking
Abyss Lake is one of the highest alpine lakes in Colorado, sitting at 12,680 feet. The lake itself doesn't seem too many visitors due to its remoteness, but the two 14,000-foot peaks making up its basin walls see lots of crowds. This lake provides a wilderness feel that many of the wilderness trails in the area can not match.
