Mills Lake: Rocky Mountain National Park
This past October, Cam and I hiked up the Mills Lake trail in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Arguably the last nice day of weather in the mountain - we sure got lucky! What a day, what a trail, absolutely stunning!

Emerald Lake Trail - Rocky Mountain National Park
If you have ever wanted to visit Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, consider it's number #1 rated easy-moderate hike, the Emerald Lake Trail. Under 4 miles round trip and you pass 4 breathtaking alpine lakes on the hike. One of my favorite easy trails in the entire parks system.
These are 3 things that everyone OBVIOUSLY needs to consider before just driving out to do a hike. There are MANY other considerations to be made, but these 3 will at least get you started. These clips are from some gopro ramblings when I spent a week exploring Rocky Mountain National Park earlier this June.
Best Hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park
There are so many beautiful hiking trails in the Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s hard to pick just one. So, we took the advice of locals working at an outdoor shop in the nearby town of Estes Park and chose the path to Sky Pond. The hike was just difficult enough that I felt like I got a great workout, but not so hard that I couldn’t do it.
Along the way stops included a photo op a the 30-foot Alberta Falls, walk around the Loch Vale, hike up to the larger Timberline Falls, stroll around Glass Lake, and lunch at Sky Pond.

Cub Lake, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, United States
Cub Lake, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA 2005
From Estes Park, continue west on Hwy 36 to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Just beyond the entrance, turn left and head south on Bear Lake Rd. for about 1.3 miles, then turn right (west) toward the Moraine Park Campground (the turnoff is just past a large stand of aspen trees, near the Moraine Park Visitor's Center). This road follows the north side of Moraine Park for about 1/2 mile to another junction. At this junction, turn left toward the Fern Falls And Fern Lake and Cub Lake Trailheads. There are no facilities at the parking lot, but there is a restroom at the Fern Lake parking lot. The trailhead parking lot is small and fills up quickly. If so, you can continue up the road to the Fern Lake parking lot, but this will add about 1 mile if you walk back to the Cub Lake Trail. Be advised that during the busy summer months, even the Fern Lake parking lot can fill up by midmorning.

Rocky Mountain National Park II Winter Hikes

Flat Top Mountain Trail, Rocky Mt. NP, Colorado. Winter Day Hike
Join me for this amazing hike on the Flat Top Mountain trail on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park in the middle of winter. This trail begins at the Bear Lake Trailhead at about 9,500 feet and climbs nearly 3000 feet to the summit of Flat Top Mountain at 12,324 feet! From there you have a ton of options to continue to other peaks along the ridgeline. I made it above treeline to about 11,800 feet before turning around a little over a mile from the summit due to tough hiking conditions and massive snowdrifts on the trail. This was a very beautiful hike and although its definitely not easy to do in winter, if you can make it you get a fantastic and unique perspective of rocky mt. that not many people get to see. I hiked just under 9 miles round trip. Enjoy!

Hike to Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park on 7/26/2016
On 7/26/2016 I took the 5 hour, round trip hike to Sky Pond from Glacier Gorge Trailhead. I left early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the views and the fishing were both spectacular! The climb up the waterfalls to Glass Lake was a good experience and a bit more difficult than I had planned on. Easily doable if you take your time. I caught Brookies in Sky Pond and Greenbacks in Icy Brook. I will do this hike again soon!

Colorado 2017: Estes Park Campground, Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, Adams Falls
The next few days of our trip, we camped at Estes Park Campground at Mary's Lake. I cannot say enough good things about this campground. The staff are very friendly, the amenities are plentiful, and the place is very clean. We went into Rocky Mountain National Park a few times. Once to Sprague Lake for some awesome photos, and also along Trail Ridge Road to Grand Lake. When we got to Grand lake we ate at a deli called Cy's Deli (excellent food), and then we decided to do a relatively easy hike up to Adam's falls. It was pretty amazing to see the raging waterfalls. Along the way we saw several deer and elk in the area. This was a very fun day on this trip
