I also would recommend the Rainbow Trail...From Poncha Pass all the way down to Medano Pass and into the Great Sand Dunes...There are many trails leading up to Alpine lakes that intersect this trail. Take your pick of these offshoot trails. They are all outstanding...My favorite hike off the Rainbow is a loop up to Venable lakes and over the divide , over to and down through Phantom terrace, down to Comanche lake and on down to the Rainbow...
Alvarado campground, outside of Westcliffe is right at the middle of the Rainbow and would be a good place to park and then hike either way..

I went to Brainard Lake today which is around 10,000FT, and well. This picture should describe it all
