Do you have plans to go to Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend? This is your chance to see a unique milky shade of turquoise at Lake Haiyaha which is just a 4-mile roundtrip hike.
“How much farther to the lake,” asked a hiker on his approach to Lake Haiyaha.The water of Lake Haiyaha is now a unique milky shade of turquoise not commonly seen in lakes of Rocky Mountain National Park but it is not from blue algae. Rather, a rockslide on June 28, 2022, exposed glacier sediment in Chaos Canyon above Lake Haiyaha. Summer rains caused this sediment, sometimes referred to as glacial flour, to flow into the lake.
Haiyaha, an indigenous word that means “big rocks”, tends to be a tongue twister for many. Impress your fellow hikers with the correct pronunciation: “hi-Ya-ha.” Continue uphill along the partially paved trail as it gently climbs through the forest to Nymph Lake. The trail follows around the north side of Nymph Lake, a pretty lake filled with lily pads and a view of Hallett Peak, located a half mile up the trail from Bear Lake. As the trail continues closer towards Dream Lake, it steepens and narrows along a set of steps and passes a pretty overlook looking east – a great place to stop for a photo.
