This was an absolutely amazing beautiful hike! About 7.2 miles round trip, so pretty long, but it's worth it, trust me. ;) We went in JULY, but even then the end was pretty snowy and slippery. Make...

"Must see" hiking trail with absolutely stunning scenery especially in the second half of September when larch getting in its best yellow-orange-red colors. Try to avoid a huge crowd of people and come there in weekday and as early as possible. You have to be there earlier that gate are closed when small parking lot at Lake Moraine is full.

This was one of the nicest hikes I've done in the Rockies. I did it in the beginning of October. Larches were fully golden. Getting there is challenging with the limited parking spots. Highly recommend to be there as early as 4am. Relatively easy hike for intermediate hikers.
