Top ten most things to do in Rocky Mountain National Park,RMNP
2:13 PMI bet there's a lot of beautiful places that we want to see once we get to the Estes Park, but because of the time limitation we just just look into the most favorite activities among the visitors. The listed is based on the review from the other traveler website who already been there and he has suggested the most beautiful and must see places which as listed below:
10. Sprague Lake
Sprague Lake is just one of the many beautiful mountain lakes that can be found in Rocky Mountain National Park. Why visit this one? Well the setting cannot get much prettier with several large 12 thousand feet plus mountains as a backdrop. There is also a nice trail around the lake that will help you catch all those wonderful views.
9. Alluival Fan
What was created by a tragedy when a dam burst, hundreds of millions of gallons of water flowed into Estes Park killing 3 people, has turned into a interesting local to cascading water.
8. Cub Lake Trail
A family friendly hike to beautiful scenery is what you will find along the Cub Lake. It is also a wonderful place to see wildlife especially in the fall when large elk herds will congregate during their annual rut.
7. Bear Lake
Bear Lake is a trailhead hub for several trails. We highly recommend going to this area as early as possible in order to park near the parking lot if the lot is full you can always take the shuttle that serves that area of the park. I know you will be anxious to hit those trails, but make sure you save time to hike around the lake.
6. Sky Pond
The hike to Sky Pond is wonderful for the fit day hiker. There are plenty of things to see on the way there from lakes to waterfalls. The hike starts out around 9,000 feet and tops out at over 10,500 feet so not a hike you would want to do on your first day at altitude but one that should be done before leaving the park.
5. Old Fall River Road
A one ray dirt road that is much as it was when it was first made during the early part of the 20thcentury is what awaits the adventurers that take the Old Fall River Road. The scenery and views are incredible and offers something different for those that have already traveled the Trail Ridge Road.

Adams Falls is probably the most popular waterfall in the park due to how short it is. If you are not much of a hiker then this is the hike for you.

3. Estes Park
Estes Park is a gateway town to rocky National Park. It is just perfect not to commercialized like some other gateway towns that we have been to, but with enough attractions and other things that if a person wants to take a break from seeing the park they will still be entertained.
2. Trail Ridge Road
When I think of Rocky Mountain National Park this road is the first thing that comes to mind. This will road will take you to see the real mountain tops. Lots of things to see and do from this road and make sure you stop off by the Alpine Visitor Center.
1. Trail to Emerald Lake
Our favorite hike to do at Rocky Mountain National Park of course we have not done all the ones that want yet, but we definitely enjoyed our time on this trail. It took us by three beautiful alpine lakes and we got to see some wildlife up close. All-in-all it was just an excellent day hike. Happy Travels!
