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.

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.

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

Park Map:
Location: Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado
Drehort: Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado
Description:
Rocky Mountain National Park is a national park located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in the north-central region of the U.S. state of Colorado. It features majestic mountain views, mountain lakes, a variety of wildlife, varied climates and environments—from wooded forests to mountain tundra—and easy access to back-country trails and campsites. The park is located northwest of Boulder, Colorado, and includes the Continental Divide and the headwaters of the Colorado River.
The park has five visitor centers. The park headquarters, Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, is a National Historic Landmark, designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West.
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.
The California Zephyr serves Granby (near the west entrance of the park) by rail from Denver, crossing the Continental Divide through the Moffat Tunnel well south of the park. The park's website suggests Granby as an appropriate rail terminus for visitors, although it lies about sixteen miles from the park without public transportation connections.
The park is surrounded by Roosevelt National Forest on the north and east, Routt National Forest on the northwest, and Arapaho National Forest on the southwest.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Sprague Lake Hallett Peak & Flattop Mountain - Day 2 of 5 ????
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Sprague Lake with views of Ottis Peak, Hallett Peak, Tyndall Glacier and Flattop Mountain Day 2 of 5. Abner Sprague opened Sprague Lake Lodge from 1910 to 1940.
We went to Endovalley Picnic area and hiked to Chasm Falls before coming to Sprague Lake this was a nice easy hike. We were staying at Estes Park just East of this location.
Amie and I loved hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.
“The trailhead for the Sprague Lake Trail is located off Bear Lake Road, roughly 5.5 miles from the turn-off at Highway 36. Due to the extreme popularity of the Bear Lake Road area, you may want to consider using the free park shuttle to reach the trailhead during peak tourist season.
Although the park sign at the trailhead states that the trail is a half-mile walk around the lake, the length is actually closer to nine-tenths of a mile. The route is virtually flat, travels over a hard packed gravel surface, and is considered to be wheelchair accessible and suitable for the entire family.”
“Sprague Lake is a scenic lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, located on the south side of Glacier Creek, about two miles south of the Hollowell turnoff. The half-mile walk around the lake is wheelchair accessible and features boardwalks and bridges with views of Flattop Mountain and Hallet Peak. The lake provides a pleasant area for brookie fishing.[1]“

Rocky Mountain National Park | Kawuneeche Valley
October is one of the most pleasant months to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park for many reasons. There are no crowds, sunny weather and mild temperatures that are all great for having a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. This time around we drove into the west side of the park and took an easy walk through the Kawuneeche Valley, specifically the Coyote Valley Trail.

Our Advice:
This trail is completely flat and less than a mile each way making it accessible to a wide range of people. This is definitely a good way to warm up your legs before going for some of the more ambitious hikes in the park. The parking is limited to this trailhead, but coming in the fall can help avoid any parking trouble.

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!
Dixie National Forest, UT USA
Dixie National Forest is a United States National Forest in Utah with headquarters in Cedar City. It occupies almost two million acres (8,000 km²) and stretches for about 170 miles (270 km) across southern Utah. The largest national forest in Utah, it straddles the divide between the Great Basin and the Colorado River. In descending order of forestland area it is located in parts of Garfield, Washington, Iron, Kane, Wayne, and Piute counties. The majority (over 55%) of forest acreage lies in Garfield County. There are local ranger district offices in Cedar City, Escalante, Panguitch, St. George, and Teasdale (Wikipedia, 2014).

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.
