I spent two nights in the park. The first day I did a quick “warmup” hike from Bear Lake up to Emerald Lake, just a bit over three miles.
The next day I started the morning from the Storm Pass trailhead, and hiked up to the top of Estes Cone, 11006. Over ten miles round trip and 3000ft. AMAZING views from the top.
The Mummy Range
Looking North-ish. You can see Lilly Lake in the foreground, Lake Estes in the background, and the Twin Sisters mountain on the right.
South view, I believe it’s Battle Mountain.
Some bad news, the Glacier Basin campground had been cleared of trees aggressively to combat a bettle infesttation, so there was no shade and whipping winds. If you camp in RMNP, make sure to book a site that sttill has trees.
