Stunning nature at its best. Hike there is not very scenic, but the columns are worth the trek. Or if you have four-wheel drive, just drive to the end of the trail and walk down to the columns.

The Sherwin Lakes trailhead is an easy 8-minute drive from the condo. It’s a great starter hike when you’re getting acclimated to the altitude. Well-worn and well-marked trail that is mostly smooth and not rocky.
