Lake Dorothey Trail, Colorado State Wildlife Area

Distance: .5 mile

Difficulty: Moderate

Elevation: 7,500’

We took this trail on Thursday, July 23, 2009.  We took it only to the dam.  We were too awestruck with all the wildflowers.  

The fish were jumping.  However, they weren't as lucky as I when I caught this dragonfly photo!  

 A couple of playful dogs along the trail were enjoying cooling off in the lake, but no actual wildlife was visible.

 Later, we took about another half mile of the other end of the Lake Maloya Trail.  This trail eludes us as to being able to complete its entirety in one trip.
