Glacier Creek

Photo by Ben Prepelka

     Glacier Creek parallels the trail to Alberta Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the national park for hikers, with a wide variety of trails ranked easy to strenuous. The Rocky Mountain peaks appear as an awesome backdrop to 360 miles of trails.
     Trail Ridge Road winds through the park, taking visitors from Estes Park, Colorado, on the east, to Kawuneeche Valley on the west. The Trail Ridge Road reaches an elevation of 12,183 feet. The majestic views can leave a lasting impression, and one visit may not be enough.
     To reach Alberta Falls, use Bear Lake Road at the Beaver Meadows entrance station, located at the east end of the park. This area is very popular because of an adjacent site, the beautiful Bear Lake.
