Rocky Mountain National Park: Emerald Lake



I had the pleasure of meeting up with some folks for a Sunday afternoon ride up from Lyons Colorado to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park Colorado.  The motorcycle ride was fantastic and to include a hike along the way was incredible.

We had planned to do the hike ahead of time so we came prepared, some better than most - I brought only energy bars while the others showed a bit more savvy by bringing lunch; lesson learned!

The hike was gorgeous and the company certainly topped off the afternoon.  I brought along my Garmin 64 to map our hike to help you get an idea of the type of hike you're in for.  You'll first reach Nymph Lake, followed by Dream Lake and then your final destination, Emerald Lake.  The scenery is unbelievable and we were so lucky to have bright sunshine the whole day.

Click here for the trail route and try clicking on the "Player" tab on the top right of the map, you'll be able to view our progress throughout the hike.  

I hope you enjoy the hike as much as we did and thanks for clicking in!
