We picked this hike, a 5-mile in-and-out hike, because if it is located outside of the park. Given that parking spots and the parking lots for the park-and-ride shuttle inside the park fill up by 9 am, we figured we would find parking at this trailhead without difficulty. How wrong we were! It happened to be the day that the parking lot, and road leading to the parking, were being re-asphalted. Ended up parking along the main road ~ 1 mile from the trailhead.
This hike kept our interest all along the way:
we had spectacular views of the snowy rockies, views of the city, Estes Park, and
lots of fascinating rock formations.
The lake itself was a small jem indeed.
As at Cub Lake, we were requested to share our lunch.
The looming summer storm on our way down made the views even more spectacular.
