Hiking

awesome trail in the Brainard Rec Center. We did over 9 miles with over 1100 feet of elevation difference. I hope to do it more snow on the ground next time.

Hiking

The Alpine Ridge Trail Overlook is a well-known but short hiking trail in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, offering a unique alpine experience with spectacular panoramic views. The trail begins right at the Alpine Visitor Center, the highest visitor center in the entire U.S. National Park System. The entire trail is paved and includes approximately 225 steps, making the climb easier but quite strenuous due to the gradient and elevation. Because the Trail Ridge Road is closed during the winter months, the trail is only open seasonally, typically from late May/early June to mid/late October.
