We visited Silver lake to take in the fall colors and it did not disappoint. We went on conference weekend so it was a little quieter. I went the weekend before on a Sunday and it was jam packed. The trail to twin lakes is currently closed and under construction there are a few more trials to explorer. We saw some deer and many squirrels on our visit. Great for all ages from little kid to elderly. The paths are well maintained and easy to access. Pack some lunch and have a fun picnic! I will say parking is a little tricky when it’s busy. I park about a block east of the entrance and walk down to the welcome center to silver lake. Not too bad but be aware of this.
