About this trail

Tellurium Lake is an 18.7-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Pikes Peak, managed by the Pike-San Isabel National Forest's Pikes Peak Ranger District. The route gains 1,528 feet of elevation throughout the journey, making it a moderate to challenging hike suitable for hikers with solid endurance. This out-and-back format means you'll retrace your steps on the return journey, allowing you to control your turnaround point based on fitness level and time available. The trail's elevation gain is spread across the full distance, providing a gradual climb rather than steep pitches. The Pike-San Isabel National Forest offers scenic high country landscapes typical of the Colorado Front Range. The trail accesses an alpine lake destination, rewarding hikers with mountain views and water features characteristic of the region. Plan for a full day of hiking given the distance. Weather conditions can change rapidly at elevation, so check forecast conditions before heading out. Contact the Pikes Peak Ranger District directly for current trail conditions and any access restrictions.
