Overview

Wheeling Forest Service Road 103 is what some would call a "tour of the lakes". This off-road trail one of the best to view high mountain lakes. You pass by South and North Twin Lakes, Dipper and Queally Lake, along with Cascade Lake. Feeding all these lakes are crystal clear streams and brooks which you can't help but appreciate as you listen and look at them. All of this water leads to a visually pleasing trip through many colorful and delicate sub-alpine meadows. This route lies within the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, it is pristine and less crowded than some of the most well-known areas that tend to get most of the attention. This is the perfect destination for an overland adventure.
