Rocky Mountain National Park
One Way Distance: 9.2 miles (if you don't get lost!)
Total Elevation Gain: 1,230 ft
Highest Elevation: 10,697 ft
Sooo, maybe this was one in which I should have listened to the Park Rangers just a little bit more,
as there was a TON of snow up there!!!
This was one that reminded me that I need to buy a GPS!
And one I am very thankful for nice people on the trail who helped me find the trail!
And one I wished I had a mountaineering axe with me!
One that I was thankful that I didn't have to post-hole (b/c if I did I would have certainly turned around!)
And one that, again, makes me very, very thankful to be in Colorado!
There is a ton of info out there on this hike, so I won't give to much beta here.....but you do need to do a car shuttle or take the NP shuttle bus back to the originating parking lot. And I'll say this one is worth doing!!!
