Getting There:

From Denver, take 285 West to Colorado 9, past Fairplay to the sleepy little town of Alma. In the middle of town, look for a small sign for the road to Kite Lake. This road is hidden. Look for a store on the right. The road is accross the street from the store. Turn left and drive a bit through a forested residential area. Drive 6 miles to Kite Lake. The last mile of this road is rough. 4WD vehicles are recommended but I made it up there in a car just as easily as I did my 4WD.
