Kite Lake is one of my favorite areas to hike. You can access three 14ers from this trail head, Mt. Democrat, Mt. Cameron, and Mt. Lincoln. Beautiful mountain lake, streams and waterfalls. Take Colorado 9 to Alma. In the middle of town and on the west side of the road, look for a small sign for the road to Kite Lake. Turn here and drive a bit through a residential area. Continue 6 miles to Kite Lake. The last mile of this road can be a bit more rough, but a good-clearance 2WD should still be able to make it when the road is dry. There are restrooms and some camping spots at the trailhead. You must pay a $3 fee to park/camp at Kite Lake. If you park below, walk up the road to Kite Lake.

Through the heart of Alma lies the trailhead of 4 -14'ers! Kite Lake is a beautiful trip to just look around or get out and do an easy day Hike.
Kite lake is very close to Alma. It's the trail head that services the infamous DeCaLiBron, a series of 4 peaks above 14,000 ft. They also have a campground. The road is not paved so plan accordingly.
