Central Colorado can boast of the highest mountains in Colorado — Elbert, Massive, and Harvard are 1, 2, and 3 — but the highest lake is apparently in Summit County.
It might even be the highest lake in the United States, according to Carl Drews of Breckenridge. Nowhere can he find evidence of a lake at a higher elevation than one at 13,420 feet near Breckenridge that he proposes to call Pacific Tarn.
