Upcoming Events
Advanced Snowshoe – RMNP - Fern Lake TH - Fern Lake
A steady 9-mile out-and-back snowshoe from the Fern Lake winter parking lot climbs about 1,500 feet as it follows the quiet, snow-covered corridor of the Big Thompson River. The route winds through dense forest with occasional openings that reveal winter-coated peaks above the canyon. At Fern Lake, the frozen shoreline offers a peaceful turnaround point before you retrace the serene path back to the trailhead.
RMOTHG Trip – Abyss Lake Trail
This is an out-and-back 6.5 mile / 720 ft elev-gain route that starts at the Abyss Lake Trailhead off Guanella Pass. We'll likely microspike up to the 1st bridge over Scott Gomer Creek @ 2.25 miles – where we'll enjoy stunning views of Bierstadt's south ridge. From here snowshoes may be needed to reach the 2nd bridge @ 3.25 miles - going through “Moose Meadow” (ok yeah I made that up:) Pace will be a steady & brisk 1.5 – 2 mph with minimal stops. Est time to complete: 5 hours.
Intermediate Snowshoe – RMNP - Bear Lake TH - Lake Helene
This will be a snowshoe trip from Bear Lake to Lake Helene.
