NATURE'S PLAYBOOK

8.6 mile out-and-back with 1,774ft gain in Estes Park. Trail is open year-round, but note that dogs are not allowed! Hike begins at the Glacier Gorge Trailhead along Bear Lake Road (make sure you’ve made a reservation for Timed Entry+ Bear Lake Road if you plan on doing this hike). You’ll pass Alberta Falls, The Loch, Lake of Glads, and Timberline Falls. Note that the last section requires a scramble and if it’s been wet it mimics scrambling up a stream.
