Hi Wendy. Sounds like a great trek! Only the lower lake has the bright teal water color. You can’t see it from the upper lake, but you can from the middle lake. There’s a viewpoint near the middle lake to look down on the lower lake, so you can enjoy seeing the color from above there. Hope this helps!

My group of 7 women are backpacking the Sneffels Traverse and considering adding the Blue Lake hike to our already 30 mile trek from Telluride to Ouray. I’m not exactly sure which lake we would get to, but have been told that it would be an additional 8 miles and almost 2,000 vertical feet from the hut we will be staying. Everyone is interested in going as we’ve seen photos of the teal/turquoise water. Can you tell me if just the lower lake is this color? Can you see that lake from the upper lake? Thank you.

No fee to camp there as far as I know, but the wilderness regs apply. You can read more here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/gmug/recarea/?recid=32558
