Square Top Lake

Lower Square Top Lake in the foreground and the broad peak of Square Top Mountain in the distance.
The colors are magnificent in Guanella Pass and the hike to Square Top Lake does not disappoint.


The trail winds through alpine shrubs and rolling terrain with lovely wide-open views all around.


Assortment
- Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve
- Each New Year’s Eve, I try to make a point of going for a long walk. It’s become a wonderful annual meditation ritual for me—a great way to wind down and reflect before the bustle of the New Year sets in and sweeps me away.
- Chartwell
- I’ve been wanting to visit Chartwell for several years but the timing has always been a challenge. Last February, for instance, we got all geared-up to make the trip to Kent only to discover at the last minute that the house was closed for the winter.
