Upper Piney Lake is an extremely scenic and well maintained trail. Although it is beautiful all summer, the truly stunning time to visit is in fall as the Aspen's leave change to a brilliant yellow. This is usually late September. Hike along sprawling fields and through the forest as you near the looming mountains ahead. You'll come to a river that leads to a magnificent waterfall. This hike is extremely enjoyable, as it doesn't have a lot of elevation gain. It's perfect for people of all ages! #hiking #camping #funforteens #kidslearning #activekids #vailsummer
