Chasm Lake

11-9-2013: Amy and I set out for Chasm Lake from the Longs Peak Trailhead. Conditions were mostly excellent, a little windy at times but nothing unexpected or difficult. We didn't quite make it to the lake because the final approach was up a fairly steep rocky area that was basically a frozen waterfall. We didn't have the right equipment to negotiate that area safely. Still, a great hike in late fall/early winter. Round trip of just under 8.5miles in 4.5 hours or so. Elevation gain of around 2,400'.
