“The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of the present travel.”
Theodore Roosevelt
Colorado is an amazing place to visit! This was from my second visit to the Rocky Mountain National Park. An amazing place to visit ANY time of the year. Make sure and watch the weather report as it can change pretty rapidly. My trip through the park on this particular day had a range of about 40 degrees and ran the gammet from sun, to rain, to show. Gotta love nature though 🙂 And these lakes are a breeze to visit. This was one of a couple that is actually easily accessible from a convenient parking lot and has a nice path that runs the whole way around it! Thank you Woodrow Wilson!
Incidentally, last time I was out there, this park as well as a few more started a new reservation system during the busy months. Make sure and check before you visit! Here is the link for the system!
