Cub Lake Hike , Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and after a 1 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road, a small spur road to the right leads to the Cub Lake Trailhead.
The Cub Lake Trailhead is at 2450 m. above sea level, and the 3.7km. hike to Cub Lake only requires a 165 m. increase in elevation. The first section of the trail is level as it crosses the western edge of the Moraine Park grasslands. The trail then climbs steadily through aspen and conifer woodlands, and eventually emerges at an area of tall wind-swept grasses. Beyond, surface water lily plants encircle the shallows of Cub Lake ---- the cobalt-blue center of the lake is plant-free. Interestingly, a clear narrow band of lake water bisects the encircling band of lily plants. Though this circular band looks as if a speedboat had cut it, it is in fact a natural phenomenon.
Beyond Cub Lake, a downhill trail eventually meets the Big Thompson River at The Pool junction. From there, a slightly downhill hiking trail parallels the river back to the Cub Lake Trailhead for a total loop hike of about 10 km. Along this return trail, the path crosses several large landslide areas, and passes through immense tumbled boulders in the Arch Rocks area.
Emerald Lake Hike, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and a 14 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road leads to the Bear Lake Trailhead.
Since the Bear Lake Trailhead is at 2871 m. above sea level, the 2.9 km. trail to Emerald Lake involves only a further 208 m. gain in elevation. Along the way, the trail passes Nymph Lake after 0.8 km., and Dream Lake after 1.8 km. Views from the trail include Flattop Mountain, Hallett Peak and Glacier Gorge. In early September, just before the first snowfalls of the coming winter season, large groves of aspen provide brilliant splashes of chrome yellow and salmon-pink color.
Bear and Sprague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and a 14 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road leads to the Bear Lake Trailhead.
At Bear Lake, a 1 km. graded accessible path around the edge of the lake is a popular low-impact trail. Aspen groves along this trail provide outstanding autumn colors in early September --- a colorful contrast to distant, gray, snow-tipped mountain peaks.
Sprague Lake (on Bear Lake Road , about 5 km. before the Bear Lake Trailhead) offers a second popular accessible lakeside path. The still water of this lake mirrors a panoramic vista of the mountains of the Continental Divide. Abner Sprague, an early homesteading settler, created a trout pond by damming a mountain stream, and colorful Eastern Brook Trout still swim in shallow feeder streams.

Upper Beaver Meadow - Rocky Mountain National Park
Beaver Meadows County Park
Very nice park for tent camping near Parkersburg Iowa. It has a golf course and creek for fishing. I made a trip in 2013 but it was flooded, so I returned in 2015. Not bad for RVers. It is frequented by locals.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road - Alpine Visitor Center - Day 4 of 5
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road - Alpine Visitor Center - Day 4 of 5. Recorded on May 31st 2018. This video shows the The Trail Ridge Road leading up to the Alpine Visitor Center. We share some of the educational displays in the Visitor center. The Alpine Visitor Center is at elevation of 11,796 feet. Also shared some of the Trail Ridge Road Medicine Bow Curve leaving the Alpine Visitor Center.
“Rocky Mountain National Park's Alpine Visitor Center is located at 11,796 feet (3,595 m) above sea level at Fall River Pass, one mile west of the highest point on Trail Ridge Road and four miles east of the Continental Divide at Milner Pass in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is the highest visitor center in the National Park System.[1]
The Alpine Visitor Center includes restrooms, exhibits on the alpine tundra ecosystem, and a gift shop operated by the park's non-profit partner organization, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. The visitor center opens around Memorial Day and closes around mid-October due to snow and the extreme winter environment. In mid-summer, the visitor center is also usually accessible by Old Fall River Road, a 9-mile dirt road open to one-way, uphill vehicle traffic.
Views from the Alpine Visitor Center include the Mummy Range, the Fall River Valley, and Trail Ridge to the east and the Never Summer and Medicine Bow ranges to the west and north. Hiking opportunities include the 1/4-mile round-trip Alpine Ridge Trail, commonly referred to as Huffer's Hill, and the 8-mile round-trip Ute Trail to Milner Pass. Park Rangers provide park orientation and interpretive programs on the alpine tundra.
Additional gift and food services at Fall River Pass are provided at the concession-operated Trail Ridge Store and Cafe.“

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5.
Rainbow Curve is one of my favorite overlooks. It has some of the best views of the park.
What you can see (Horseshoe Park):
The distinctive fan of light-colored boulders on the left of this picture is a relatively new feature on the land. A high mountain dam failed on July 15, 1982, and in a matter of hours the water violently disgorged it load on the valley floor.
What you can see from Rainbow Curve:
1 Mount Chapin (12,454)
2 Mount Chiquita (13,069)
3 Ypsilon Mountain (13,514)
4 Mount Fairchild (13,502)
5 Hagues Peak (13,560)
6 Mommy Mountain (13,425)
7 Roaring River
8 Bighorn Mountain (11,463)
9 McGregor Mountain (10,456)
10 Deer Mountain (10,013)
“Rainbow Curve, 12.8 miles from the Beaver Meadows park entrance, lies on the outside edge of a wide switchback on Trail Ridge Road as it swings around a blunt ridge between Hidden Valley and Hanging Valley. This major viewpoint at 10,829 feet is just below timberline, the transition zone between a subalpine fir and spruce forest and the alpine tundra of grass and delicate wildflowers. The vista looks down on Horseshoe Park, an open grassy valley floored by twisting Fall River. Note the light-colored alluvial fan on the north side of the park. It formed in 1982 when Lawn Lake, a small reservoir in the Mummy Range, broke after heavy rain. A deluge of water, boulders, and debris swept down into the valley.”
Just beyond the flower covered meadow lies Forest Canyon and the Continental Divide with Mount Ida. This picture, taken at high noon, shows the problem of photograph trees at this time of day. Photographs taken in the early morning or late afternoon would render the trees a truer green.
Tundra Protection Area
Hundreds of feet cause damage that takes hundreds of years to restore.
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL!
The Glacial Landscape
Like other high mountain valleys, Forest Canyon was filled with ice and shaped by glaciers during the past two million years. Here, ice flowed through a stream valley and followed the straight line of the ancient faults. Side valleys contributed their own rivers of ice, and carved the canyons of Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes The Rolling terrain of the high country was untouched by glacial ice.
What you can see:
1 Longs Peak (14,255)
2 Stones Peak (12,922)
3 Spraque Mountain(12,713)
4 Hayden Spire
5 Hayden Gorge
6 Terra Tomah (12,718)
7 Mt Ida
8 Gorge Lakes

The park may be accessed by three roads: U.S. Highway 34, 36, and State Highway 7. Highway 7 enters the park for less than a mile, where it provides access to the Lily Lake Visitor Center which is closed indefinitely. Farther south, spurs from route 7 lead to campgrounds and trail heads around Longs Peak and Wild Basin. Highway 36 enters the park on the east side, where it terminates after a few miles at Highway 34. Highway 34, known as Trail Ridge Road through the park, runs from the town of Estes Park on the east to Grand Lake on the southwest. The road reaches an elevation of 12,183 feet (3,713 m), and is closed by snow in winter,More Info :

American Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36.
In the park during the early-autumn mating season, large herds of American Elk congregate on the grassy plains of the Moraine Park and Horseshoe Park areas, as well as along the banks of the Big Thompson River. While often seen in the distance, elk herds occasionally wander close to the park roads, and clusters of parked automobiles always indicate prime roadside viewing locations.
During the mating season, a harem of female elk cows cluster around a single dominant male bull elk, who busily fends off younger bulls, as well as keeping the cows in a compact herd. While guarding a harem of female elk, a bull elk patrols with nostrils flared and an open mouth ---- ever sensitive to odors. Periodically, a successful bull elk also generates a shrill bellowing cry of the wild, to impress the harem and to ward off other unattached bull elk.
