Alberta Falls Trail and Mills Lake Trail

Mills LakeHow do you know what hikes are good in Rocky Mountain National Park?  Well, from our experience, it seems that all the hikes are really good and offer views.  Some are more travelled than others and some are longggg. Glacier Gorge tailhead will take you to Alberta Falls in .6 miles of easy but crowded hiking. The falls are wonderful!

If you travel in 2 more miles, you will leave the crowds behind at the falls and get another treat ending at Mills Lake. Take these hikes and be prepared with your raingear, you never know how quick clouds can chase you off the mountain.

Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park Lodging

Mary's Lake LodgeWe recently stayed a couple days in Estes Park and hiked in the park. We found one of Estes Park’s hidden wonders: Mary’s Lake Lodge. We highly recommend this place if you are staying the night.  With a long history of accomodating park visitors, it still has charm and a lot of comfort. The condos are modernly furnished, the pool is inviting, and the restaurants offer a nice ambiance. We are sure to return there again! Check it out!
