From the southern junction with the Sky Lakes Trail, the Donna Lake Trail winds along a fairly gentle slope through the lush forest, past Donna and Deep Lakes, before rejoining the Sky Lakes Trail. Wandering away from the trail offers glimpses through the trees of the glacially carved features of the Cherry Creek Natural Research Area to the east. The striking scenery along this trail is a reminder of our responsibility to protect this primitive wilderness environment by practicing minimum impact visitation.
