Smugglers' Notch: Hike Through Huge Boulders & Epic Views

Drive the narrow, winding pass to see the massive rock formations that once hid bootleggers from the law. The best move is parking at the lot near the Big Spring to hit the Sterling Pond trail—it is steep, but the alpine lake at the top hits different. Skip the crowded peak during fall foliage weekends unless you love gridlock. Give it three hours and pack a hoodie; the summit temperature drops fast.
