👍👍 This is a gorgeous meadow with a stream running through the middle. In the winter you can't hike out into it without snowshoes since there is too much snow but the pull-offs still give great views!

👍👍 Beautiful area to walk around and spend some time admiring the space around you. It’s refreshing to breathe in the crisp air, especially when there’s a brief incoming rain storm. The river is calming, consistent, and certainly something worth sitting beside on a fall evening. It’s a good spot to rea...

👍 The perfect waterfall hike for everyone. It is enough of a challenge to feel like you accomplished something but it isn't difficult compared to most of the trails in the park. The falls are roaring and have plenty of room for everyone to sit on for a break.

👍👍 Love hiking over Maxwell and dipping my feet in horsetooth!!

👍👍 This was such a beautiful hike with amazing views throughout. With rain starting about 3/4 of the way up, and our daughter and I being beginner hikers, it took us about 3 hours from start to finish. There is a main parking lot with a bathroom and then an overflow parking lot right across that had wh...

👍👍 Once in a life time experience, breathtaking. My family and I drove from Texas to Colorado to experience mountains. What a treat to be able to drive up the mountains to see great glory. Will never forget. Must see!!

Foothills area with many miles of panoramic hiking trails amid rock outcroppings & grasslands.

👍👍 Amazing grace... this place sits high atop the Fort Collins landscape yet seems hundreds of miles away as part of a hidden beach. One of my favorite places in Northern Colorado that reminds me of my coastal origins.

👍👍 I did this hike alone with three kids. They had fun. I had fun. It's the perfect distance for my 3.5 year old. I didn't have to carry her. My older two asked to do it again sometime.

👍👍 Highly recommend the devils backbone hike to the keyhole. We went on a Friday around lunch time and had no trouble finding parking. It was hot, very hot but the view was 100% worth it!!

👍👍 Endovalley Picnic Area is a great find! This spot is nestled away just to the left of the entrance to Old Fall River Road, and is a true representation of the quiet majesty of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Well-maintained, quiet, and just waiting to be explored. There are many individual sites...

👍👍 Trail Ridge Drive is definitely worth the drive. I got to experience the grandness of the nature. And cool to see animals along the way. We didn't make the whole loop to the grand lake, stopped at the Continental Divide and returned to the Estes Park Entrance. The photos just don't justify for t...

👍👍 Nice little hidden gem. My family and I stop by every time on our way to Estes. Little trails and river so beautiful to see.

👍 Well had a better day moss moved on cought thes there.

👍 O.K. , So the RIVER is the highlight of the park. Grass area big enough for frisbee. Not 'lousy' yet Port-a-Potty type facilities. No running water. One pavilion, a couple of picnic tables strong. Electricity optional when reserving the pavilion, normally no juice for nobody from the flaccid outlets...

👍👍 Lovely campsites that are appropriately spaced apart and near the water. Most of the campsites have electricity, a picnic table, and a fire pit. You will also see healthy and tame wildlife roaming the campground (deer and wild turkeys). The only downside is that the new dam being built next door is...

👍👍 Great trails close to town at this Trailhead. Small parking lot, so get there early, and includes bathrooms. Trail system there is just incredible. You can take a trail down to the lake, or take one of many that head up, up to Horsetooth or other destinations. Within a mile you can feel like you're...

👍👍 Love taking my pup here to run and play a bit during the cooler parts of the day. Usually not too crowded either! It’s incredibly peaceful to sit by the shore and skip rocks, read, or watch the sunset here :) When you’re walking near the water, keep an eye out for broken glass and other miscellaneou...
