Alluvial Fan (East) Waterfall

Rocky Mountain National Park

Wasn't sure what to expect but this short trail was stunning - the large waterfall and the views from the trail were unexpected and welcomed for such short mileage.

Bierstadt Lake was beautiful but the hike up the loose rock-filled trail was not fun, especially after hiking 11 miles the previous day. Took our time and went slow but again, the views from the lake were worth it.

Amazing trail with great views for an early morning hike. We saw an elk in the lake within the first 5 minutes.

Hiking

Bear Lake Trail

Rocky Mountain National Park
Estes Park, CO

Nice short loop around Bear Lake. Super pretty in the early morning when very few people are on the trail. By comparison, when we finished the Lake Haiyaha Loop (Mills, The Loch, Dream Lake, Nymph Lake), this trail was packed with people at 1PM. Show up early if you want to enjoy Bear Lake with some seclusion.

Hiking

Copeland Falls Trail

Allenspark, CO

Nice and easy hike to two beautiful waterfalls. After the hike we found a moose along the road on the drive out.

Peaceful spot to take in lake and mountain views. No real trail or hike but the shoreline of the lake is pretty.

Hiking

Lily Lake Trail

Rocky Mountain National Park
Estes Park, CO

Neeners

0.9 miles / 1.4 km

Perfect spot for an evening or sunrise walk. This trail is super busy on weekends but less busy during the weekday. During our hike here, we saw an elk and a muskrat run up a hiker's leg.

Hiking

Mills Lake - The Loch - Lake Haiyaha - Dream Lake - Nymph Lake Loop

Rocky Mountain National Park
Larimer County, CO

Neeners

8.4 miles / 13.5 km

Very long hike but well worth the effort. The lakes were beautiful and the scenery was unmatched by other hikes I've done. Dislikes: the snowfields along the Lake Haiyaha Trail - they seemed endless, scrambling to Lake Haiyaha - a bit dangerous, and the super steep snowfields along the mountain slopes down to Dream Lake - terrifying. Still an amazing hike with a ton of sights to see along the way.
