On the trail to Fern Falls

Rocky Mountain National Park — September 6, 2009

It’s the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.  We’re expecting there to be quite a lot of people on the trails today, so we pick one that, hopefully won’t be so crowded that we’ll be unable to get a parking lot.  While there are shuttle buses for hikers, we’d prefer to be able to park and hike.

We get to the trail-head and the parking lot is full — no room for even a small car like ours.  Fortunately, there’s another small parking back up the road a little ways and there was an empty spot there when we went past.  Hopefully, no one has slipped into it — good, it’s still open.

Here’s a few photos from the hike:
