Update 5/8/23: according to others who've been recently, parking is now $20. We haven't been back since we made this video.
Colorado has many amazing lakes formed by snowmelt, St. Mary’s Glacier is one of them and it is the most amazing hike if you are visiting Colorado! Located at just a 24 minute drive North West of Idaho Springs, this 2.4 mile out and back hike features stunning views of the mountains (including Mt. Evans in the distance), St. Mary’s Lake and the snow shelf that feeds it. However, it’s about .75 miles to get to St. Mary’s Lake. Make sure that you come EARLY because this hike gets BUSY and the parking lot fills up very fast. The hike up is very rocky so hiking poles are highly recommended :D We thoroughly enjoyed St. Mary’s and even though it was windy, Adam got some beautiful drone footage with his DJI Mini 2.
If you do try this hike when you visit Colorado, let us know what you thought of it. As always, we love to explore new places so please share with us some of your favorite hikes (or adventures anywhere in the world) in the comments below :)

Vlog 33: #StMarysGlacier - #IdahoSprings, Colorado (#BestHikesinColorado, especially if you’re visiting!)
----------------------
We’re Anna D and Adam, vloggers living in Colorado. After the pandemic shut everything down in March of 2020, we decided to make more time to explore our own state in part for our own mental wellbeing and in part because we’d been living here over 5 years and had barely hiked more than 10 different trails. We married on Valentine’s Day 2010 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. #Travel has always been something that we both love and have done quite a bit of in the 16 years we’ve been together. So why not combine our passion of video making and photography to share with you our adventures? We’re on a quest to find some of the coolest spots in #Colorado (and beyond!). Where should we visit next?
Appreciate the tips...happy trails
So glad it was helpful! Also note that since we published this parking has increased. We haven't been back since but several viewers have let us know. Thank you so much for watching!
I really enjoyed that hike. I wouldn't have wanted to arrive any later, because of the crowds, but I enjoyed being able to go up there and see everything. It was a lot of fun watching the skiers.
It was awesome. I definitely would go even earlier and on a weekday lol. It's beautiful and perfect for people who visit CO and want to see an Alpine lake
Another great hike! Would love to see star trails over the lake at night!!!!!!! Another great video, another great adventure! Thanks for taking us along!
You're the best! Thank you for watching and commenting. Yesses, definitely want to do star trails there hehe. Watching your newest video now!
Who needs stair master when you got those awesome trails to hike. Beautiful view towards the end and what a great place to have lunch. Love these fun adventures videos guys keep it up.
Agreed! The mountains are our natural gym. This is a beautiful hike and very accessible - the first part is a bit challenging but the view is worth it. Thank you so much!
I went today and it is now $20 to park. We only brought $5. So the nearest cash places another 30 minutes away which would be an hour. Just to come back. Looking like we'll do this another day. This is just a heads up for any other hikers. Great video!
Oh no!!!! That's a sham! Probably because it is so popular but still. We'll update our caption so *hopefully* others will be aware of the new price. Loch Lomond is nice too but there's nowhere to really park and you really need high clearance. We recommend this one for later in the year. It was not very well maintained and tons of snow melt streams made it challenging to get to the upper lakes. Here's that video ♥️ czcams.com/video/hbyy5BCMjsY/video.html
Great video! Thanks for sharing and excited for where you go next!
Aww thank you!!! Any recommendations?
Beautiful place 😍
It's so beautiful and very accessible.

Aww you should! So many beautiful places over here!
