Copeland Falls Hike (Rocky Mountain National Park) [2019]
The vlog is back!! I have been gone for a LONG time. Sarah and I got married, went on our honeymoon, and I also shot a couple of music videos (which I will post soon), but the vlog is finally back in business! Here's a quick video from over a month ago of Sarah and I going hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, where we also saw parts of Ouzel falls.

Ouzel Falls - Rocky Mountain National Park - Calypso Cascades, Wild Basin Trails!!
An excellent trip into the Rocky Mountains on the Basin Trails. The trailhead lies about an hour and a half from Denver, Colorado up in the Rocky Mountains - where cell phone reception fails to exist.
The Basin trails offer a fabulous venture into the wild Rockies, with high mountain trails, raging rivers and plenty of waterfalls and rapids to quench a hiker's thirst for nature's scenery.
After hitting the trail, we take some time at Copeland Falls, the least impressive of the three we'd see on this hike, but still a relaxing and natural delight.
Further up the trail we hang out at the Calypso Cascades, a layered waterfall that captures your eye over and over, before heading up higher into the mountains to Ouzel Falls - a raging faucet that sprays the area with mist, and tempts you to climb closer and closer.
A fantastic afternoon was spent in Rocky Mountain National park.
The trail was only moderate in difficulty, but with the daylight growing short, I took it a little faster than I would have ordinarily - although you wouldn't know that from the 'chilling out' I do in the video. I thought I would have been one of the last hikers of the evening, but sure enough quite a few were heading up after me. No chance they got back down by dark.
Good for them.
Enjoy!!

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) - Wild Basin, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls - Day 5 of 5.
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) - Wild Basin, Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls - Day 5 of 5. This is our last day in RMNP and second to last stop before at Lily Lake. This is probably my second favorite hike in RMNP because of all the water features including St. Vrain Creek, Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls. This was recorded on June 1st 2018.

Here is a great trail description provided by this site.
The hike to Ouzel Falls begins from the fairly remote Wild Basin Trail head in the southeastern corner of Rocky Mountain National Park, located near the small communities of Meeker Park and Allenspark. To reach the trail head from Estes Park, drive 12.6 miles south on Colorado Highway 7 to the Wild Basin Road junction and turn right. After driving 0.4 miles make another right turn into the park. The Wild Basin Trail head is located roughly 2.2 miles from the park turn-off on a narrow, two-wheel drive gravel road.
This hike offers several attractions along the way, including Copeland Falls and Calypso Cascades. Lower Copeland Falls, your first destination along this route, arrives at just over three-tenths of a mile from the trail head. The upper falls are located roughly one-tenth of a mile further upstream along the North St. Vrain Creek. There's a side trail that visits both the lower and upper falls. This trail parallels the main trail, and once you've visited Upper Copeland Falls, will allow you to return back to the main trail without having to backtrack.
Beyond the falls the trail crosses over Sandbeach Creek. At just over 1.3 miles from the trailhead you'll reach a spur trail that provides access to a series of five backcountry campgrounds that offer a total of seven individual campsites. To continue on towards Calypso Cascades, hikers should stay to the left at this junction.
At roughly 1.6 miles hikers will pass an unnamed waterfall, which shouldn't be confused with Calypso Cascades, which is still another two-tenths of a mile further up the trail. Unfortunately the 200-foot high Calypso Cascades weren't all that impressive during our first visit to these falls on an early-September day. However, during the spring run-off, the falls are usually roaring, as seen in this photo from a more recent hike in late June (below, on the left).
Above Calypso Cascades you'll begin to catch sporadic views of the surrounding mountains, including Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker towards the north.
At 2.7 miles hikers will reach Ouzel Falls, which is a very impressive 40-foot waterfall. Although you can see it from the new footbridge that now spans across Ouzel Creek, you can get a much better view by traveling off trail for a short distance.
...
Ouzel Falls, Ouzel Creek and Ouzel Lake (2.25 miles further up the trail) are all named after the water ouzel. These small, slate-grey colored birds, also known as American dippers, are known for bobbing, or dipping, along the rocks around fast moving streams, and diving under water in search of food. Once below the surface of the water the dippers forage by either walking along the stream bottom, or by flying through the water, using their wings to propel themselves through the swift currents.

RMNP • Wild Basin Falls
The HD Avatar and WolfGirl hiked through Rocky Mountain National Park along the Wild Basin Falls trail. We stared out late in the day, but were still able to get in several hours of hiking. It was our first hike in RMNP and it did not disappoint. The water falls from the snow melt are amazing sight and sound. Enjoy the footage...
