露營第二天用完早餐後全體到距營地約12哩的Loveland Pass hiking,營地出發後朝US-6E號公路前進,接US-6E號公路後右轉行約 11.2哩在將抵達Loveland Pass最高點前0.5哩處左轉,行約0.1哩即抵達Pass Lake停車場。
Pass Lake
Pass Lake海拔11,835(3,607公尺),上下大小計有三個湖,環湖一周大約0.8(1.28公里),湖邊小徑因融雪的關係有點泥濘,但湛藍的湖水,倒映著靄靄白雪山頭,風景優美。

走完了Pass Lake開車續往上行約0.5哩抵達Loveland Pass最高點,此處海拔11,990(3,650公尺),有一處停車場,但旅遊旺季往往車滿為患。

今天我們選擇停車場東側的步道預定登上Point 12,915’,海拔12,915(3,937公尺),登山距離約一哩(1.6公里)
我們於11:10從登山口出發,假日遊客蠻多的,山上積雪大多已融化,山徑兩旁野花盛開,邊走邊賞花,減輕不少高海拔登山的疲累!
