Peacock Pool is an alpine tarn or small lake tucked against cliffs in a glacier-carved cirque on the east flank of 14,259-foot Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. The deep lake lies among wildflower-strewn meadows and glacier-scraped bedrock below Columbine Falls and Chasm Lake. Peacock Pool gets its name because it appears multi-hued from the slopes above the lake. The pool is in a sensitive ecological area so step lightly if you visit to avoid erosion and damage to fragile vegetation. No trail reaches the 11,360-foot-high lake; instead hikers have to descend 260 feet down a loose talus field and ledges from the Chasm Lake Trail. The mountain views from the lake are absolutely stunning, with the sheer Diamond on the upper East Face of Longs Peak hanging above cliffs at the end of the cirque.
