Hey all, I saw the other thread on RMNP, it was helpful. I am specifically looking for some suggestions for a three or four day hike, ending at or near Estes Park. A little background:
We are planning a reunion for a group of folks who participated in a long distance hike many years ago. The reunion will be held in Estes Park. I've been asked to put together a "hike-in" for the reunion. Would like to keep the mileage down to no more than about 8 miles per day as most of the folks are no longer regular backpackers, and most of us will be coming from low elevations. The reunion is planned for Sept of 2015.
Looking for suggestions for a pleasant hike starting near-by and ending as close to Estes Park as reasonable. Perhaps some options incorporated for longer daily mileage for those who may choose. This last is not a requirement, but would be nice.
I've ordered a couple of trail guides and the Trails Illustrated map. Surrounding area suggestions also welcome - doesn't HAVE to be RMNP, per se.
Thanks for any suggestions.
