Description

Overlook is the first, and most difficult trail, in the County Line loop. It is narrow with a couple of tricky rock steps to navigate up or down and some substantial roots thrown in for good measure. About 2 miles into the trail, you'll reach a four way intersection. Straight or right will take you to an overlook of the Island Lake area, which features a dozen or so other small lakes. Beyond that you can see most of Delta and Montrose Counties and perhaps the San Juan Mountains on a clear day. Beware the most tricky bits are along the small loop out and back to the overlook. Even if you have to walk, it's well worth the diversion.

Overlook Hwy 65, Island Lake, and pretty much all of Colorado between Grand Mesa and the San Juans.

Grand Mesa is full of these seemingly random piles of lava rocks, like they fell from the sky.
