Santa Fe Baldy + Lake Katherine Loop

Advanced RoutesVia the Windsor Trail
Written By Erica Stupfel

Via the Windsor trail and back around to Lake Katherine: 24 miles RT, 5276 gain, Max elevation 12,606 feet.

Start at Windsor trail and start climbing. The trail meandures through Aspen and Pine forests with occasional meadows and creeks. After about 10 miles, the air gets thinner, the boulders get bigger and it seems the switchbacks will never end. Finally Lake Katherine appears. Summit Santa Fe Baldy up the grass face by switchbacks to the top. From here you can go back the way you came (shave off some miles) or run down a well groomed trail that winds back to Lake Katherine and then down.  There’s an option to shave some downhill mileage with a direct and steeper descent by taking a spur off the Windsor trail.
