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.

Alberta Falls & Trail,Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
Experience a short hike to Alberta Waterfall in Rocky Mountain National Park. The Falls are at the end of a short hike along well marked trails. Enter from Estes Park, take the first left to the parking lot and hike in on this trail to the beautiful waterfalls. This short clip was taken shortly after a brief rain so the leaves are glistening, chipmunks were out, and the falls were very pretty that afternoon in the fall of 2006.

Hiking Bear Lake In Rocky Mountain National Park
We weren’t prepared for hiking and the weather at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, we ended up hiking in thundersnow! Driving from Denver where it was beautiful and sunny the weather changed so much by the time we got to the park (RMNP). We tried to hike until thunder and lightning started falling. So we drove to Boulder to get dinner then headed home. I promised Gig we’d go back one day when the weather was better,

4 BEST DAY HIKES IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK | Everything You Need to Know [WILDLIFE & CAMPING]
Hiking and Camping in Rocky Mountain National Park was an absolutely incredible 4 day experience! Every day was a unique and inspiring new destination that left us at a complete loss for words! We had an absolute blast, and you will too if you follow our 4 day itinerary!
VIDEO TIME STAMPS:
0:00 - Introduction
1:16 - Day 1 - Hiking to Bierstadt Lake and a nature walk around Sprague Lake
2:19 - We saw a moose!!
5:15 - Day 2 - Hiking to Dream Lake and Emerald Lake
6:55 - Day 3 - Hiking to Bear Lake and Alberta Falls and a nature walk through Moraine Park
9:05 - Day 4 - Hiking a loop to Fern Lake, Fern Falls & Cub Lake and a nature walk through another part of Moraine Park!
10:45 - Bonus Hike up Lily Mountain just outside Rocky Mountain National Park!
Stop 1 - #bierstadtlake
Bierstadt Lake is about a 4 mile round-trip hike, about 1 mile and a half to the lake itself then a 1 mile loop around it. There are 2 separate trail to get to Bierstadt Lake, and both trails are excellent ways to achieve the goal: a morning exploring one of the most stunning lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park: Bierstadt Lake. Bierstadt Lake now holds a special place in our hearts, because it was the location where Zach saw his first moose!
Stop 2 - #spraguelake
Sprague Lake is more of a lakeside walk than a hike, but it is a MUST on any trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Sprague Lake is located very close to both Bierstadt Lake trailheads, so it makes sense to do in succession with that hike. The walk around the lake itself is easy, and let's just say that old saying 'All good things take time' was not written by someone who had been to Sprague Lake.
Stop 3 - #dreamlake
Dream Lake is located on the hike to Emerald Lake, at just about the halfway point. FYI, there is a lake called Nymph Lake on the route as well, but this one is much less noteworthy than the larger two. Dream Lake is the most beautiful lake we saw in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was incredible.
Stop 4 - #emeraldlake
Now, Emerald Lake MIGHT be prettier than dream lake in the heat of the summer. This 'Dream Lake was the prettiest lake we saw' business might be considered cheating, because a few lakes we hiked to were still frozen over. Emerald Lake was one of those lakes. Now, this lake was STILL beautiful, even covered in ice!
Stop 5 - #bearlake
Whatever you do, you MUST make a stop at Bear Lake. It'll be the easiest stop on the adventure, except for maybe Sprague Lake, and you will thank yourself for making the trip. Like most lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park, the best part of the view!
Stop 6 - #albertafalls
Located a little over a mile from Bear Lake, ALberta Falls is nuique from ANY OTHER of the hikes on our 4 day adventure hiking the Rockies. How so? Well, it is the only waterfall on the adventure!
Stop 7 - #morainepark
Moraine Park is FREAKING HUGE! There is no way to see it all in one day, unless that is the only thing you do that day. It is enormous AND spectacular, and we saw 57 elk there!
Stop 8 - #fernlake
Fern Lake itself is 3.8 miles from the Fern Lake trailhead, but you can take it as fast or slow as you care to. And even better? Along the way is Fern Falls, a cascasing waterfalls flowing almost as powerfully as Alberta Falls.
Stop 9 - #cublake
We ourselves did not spot any moose here at Cub Lake, however we heard from at least 4 or 5 people who went to Cub Lake on previous days who did see a moose hanging out. We must have went on the day that moose was intermittent fasting or something, because we didn't find them. However, that shouldn't take away from Cub Lake itself, because the lake was incredible. It was the bluest lake we saw without a doubt!

About Zach & Julie:
We first found out each other had a passion for travel when we started dating, and set off on our first trip together to sunny San Diego after only dating for a few short weeks! You really learn who someone is when you travel with them... Everything started off great with a delayed flight and lost baggage (the only reason Zach has broken Julie’s terrible overpacking habits and convinced her to become a backpacker gal) but we bonded the rest of the time over sunsets, bike rides, seafood and strong coffee. We were quickly hooked to the feeling of exploring a new place and found ourselves planning our next trip before returning home from the last.
Starting in January 2019, we purchased a 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan MV and are making the road our home! We spent 2 months converting our van (Winnie) into our home, with a TON of help from YouTube tutorials, and of course some help from Zach's handyman pops. Now every day is a new adventure!
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.
