Friday, June 22, 2018 - Rocky Mountain National Park, Sprague Lake, Estes
8:00 - 12noon
Mountain Views including Hallett Peak. I like to get here early because the parking fills up fast. I plan on being there by 8:00. Be sure and check the entrance fees before coming. The rates have changed and may be expensive. The annual pass might be a better option. Also consider carpooling as an option.
Take the Beaver Meadows Entrance to RMNP, Turn on Bear Lake Rd. right past the entrance station. Continue past the Bear Lake shuttle bus parking lot. Look for the entrance to Sprague Lake on the left. Meet in parking lot by the Lake.

Views of Watson Lake and the Poudre River. Rock cliffs. Good place to get out of the wind.
