Gorgeous peaks. Alpine meadows. Cascading waterfalls. Watch the first light of the day hit one of Colorado's most iconic peaks with a perfect reflection in this pool below. Only 20 minutes outside of Estes Park.
OPTIONAL: In order to shave off a little distance and get some extra sleep before the hike, you can camp the night before at a backpacking site, Goblin's Forest. It's about 1.2 miles in on the trail and has 6 sites. For this you'll have to obtain a $26 backpacking permit and have a bear canister. It might be expensive but if you're coming from further away it is nice to give yourself a head start!
