I want to take my 2 year old and friends + kids on an easy scenic hike in Summit this week. They'll be in packs. I'm looking for a hike with lots of wildflowers and great views. I remember someone mentioning an easy scenic trail north of Silverthorne, with great views to the Gores. I cannot remember what it is. Anyway, any recs? Thanks!

North of Silverthorne and near Heeney is Cataract Lake. There's also Rainbow Lake in Frisco. For a longer hike outside of Breck, try Mowhawk Lake. All great family options.

+1 on Mohawk lakes. Mine ruins, waterfalls and lakes all in one hike.

In fact, I did Mohawk Lakes last week
It was fantastic. Looking for something high up this time, like Shrine Mtn.

The hike north of Silverthorne you might be thinking of is Acorn Creek. Not a very busy spot but it has great views of the Gores. I was there yesterday and the wildflowers are still looking good.

Would probably be a good choice. In summer, it's really a short hike.

Also consider Mount Royal.
