Greeley Ponds Trailhead — Attraction in Lincoln

This is a fantastic hike! Wish I would of know I'd be crossing a rocky stream shortly after starting. In retrospect we should of taken our boots off and crossed. It was a hot day so walking the rest with wet boots was not too bad. The trail head and all trails app doesn't identify the Greeley Pond Trail as the yellow markers on the trees. We figured it out. The trail was easy to moderate and fairly well maintained. Walking up to the first pond was better then expected. A pristine mountain pond with a duck couple swimming around and fish jumping. The second shallower pond was a short hike from the first. There was we were serenaded by birds and had a few swallow tail butterfly's fluttering around us as company. When we first came upon the second pond we apparent warned a bear we were there and in the distance we saw the blur of it run fast from the water into the woods. It was a peaceful, spectacularly...

Not a lot of space to park a car, but beautiful hike! When we went in early May, there was a river to cross, but no bridge. I'd guess that during summer there might be a bridge or at least less water, but for know be prepared to figure out original ways...

Loved the hike. Make sure you wear actual hiking boots. Trail is muddy and slippery. The trail to the left to the pond is quite easy. To the east peak and top is very hard. So make sure you up for it.
