Description
The Hike is a beautiful hike through the colorado rockies. The trail is a beautiful trail and is very easy until you reach the boulder field. From then on it is a much more difficult trail, and at some places you must pick your own. Once through the Boulder field and past the key hole it is a hike along ridges and up almost vertical cliffs (lots of switch backs, so don't worry.) Finally you reach the Home streach. The last 200-300 feet to the summit. The summit is enormous and is very beautiful. The view is well worth the trip.

Directions to Hike
Travel to Estes Park and either stay in the town, or camp in the Rocky Mountain National Forest Park. If you are going to stay in the park, besure to get your reservations in early. To get to the trail head, go to the main visitors center, and they will give you directions.
