Best Walking Trails & Routes in Estes Park

This part of the Rocky Mountain National Park is awe-inspiring with its lakes starting with Bear Lake and then ending at Emerald Lake. The trail is very well maintained and lined with beautiful Colorado wildflowers, ferns, moss covered boulders and of course those quaking aspen trees. There is so much to see. I would suggest that you give yourself plenty of time, bring plenty of snacks, water, and or a lunch. Enjoy!😀

A 6.5 mile out and back route on the Estes Park Fish Creek trail that starts and ends at the Community Center. At the beginning, the path is concrete, but changes to gravel as it goes out of town. There is a gradual incline on the outbound leg. Great mountain views all around. The path is mostly out in the open, so there is not much shade.
