Description: This trail is in a popular area of Rocky Mountain National Park and offers some of the most stunning lake and mountain views. Each of the lakes has its own unique appeal, but Lake Haiyaha is a gem. It sits just below an active glacier and glacial sediment is what gives the lake its turquoise color. Haiyaha means "rock", "big rocks" or "lake of many rocks". The lake shore around Lake Haiyaha isn't a traditional one, but rather it's made up of large boulders to walk and play on. Even if you're not up for rock scrambling, you can still see appreciate the lake from the trail. It's well worth it in our opinion. There will be plenty of time for photos, a little exploring around the area, and snacks and drinks before heading back down.
