Lady Moon Trailhead (#985)
The Lady Moon Trail meanders south for just over a mile to where it junctions with the Molly Lake Trail (#991). Visitors can then take the Molly Lake Trail west for 3.8 miles to its trailhead located on County Road 69 (Manhattan Road), 3 miles south of the Red Feather Lakes Road. Numerous game trails and logging roads can be seen along the Lady Moon Trail, and some lead to a saddle for a view above Lady Moon Lake (private land) from Forest Service land.
