East Troublesome Fire in Rocky Mountain National Park

East Troublesome Fire in Rocky Mountain National Park

October 25, 2020 by Darin Gibby

I spent most of this past summer hiking into a large part of the lakes in RMNP.  I’ve posted on each of my trips in earlier posts.  With news of the fire, I’ve been closely monitoring its progress through the areas I’ve visited.  I’ve been greatly disheartened to see that several of my favorite lakes,…

Pear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park

August 22, 2020 by Darin Gibby

I did my last hike of the season to Pear Lake in RMNP.  I love this hike as you pass Finch lake and a really cool lily pond.  I wanted to go to the Hutcheson lakes above Pear, but after all the hikes this summer I was completely worn out.  Plus, the fishing for Greenback…

Arrowhead Lake Revisited

July 13, 2020 by Darin Gibby

Prior to last week, I’d been to Arrowhead Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park twice.  Here is a link to my post several years ago.  The first time I got lost and by the time I got to the lake I had no time to fish.  The second time I brought my two sons.  We…

Lawn and Crystal Lakes in RMNP

July 5, 2020 by Darin Gibby

I took a chance to go to Big Crystal in the first week of July.  With its elevation and how the lake is tucked against the cliffs, I worried that there would still be a lot of snow.  But I wasn’t expecting all the ice.  It put a bit of a damper on the fishing…

Lost Lake and Lake Husted

June 27, 2020 by Darin Gibby

Last week we did our second hike in RMNP, going to Lost, then Husted.  I’m not sure why they call it Lost Lake, it should be Long Lake, not because the lake is long, but the hike is unbearably long.  Round trip it was 23 miles.  We started hiking at 6:30 am and got back…

Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park – Fern Lake Trail

June 17, 2020 by Darin Gibby

With travel options limited, I decided to do a different hike each week in RMNP.  This week Tal and I took the Fern Lake trail, heading past Spruce and up to the Divide.  As you can see, there is still lots of snow and it was a bit tricky, but well worth it.  It’s usually…

Crystal Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park

August 25, 2019 by Darin Gibby

Last week I completed by fourth hike in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer.  I decided to try the Crystal Lakes.  I’ve been to Lawn Lake before, but never tacked on the next two miles to get to Crystal.  Being only two weeks away from my marathon, I figured I’d be in good enough shape…

Hutcheson Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park

August 17, 2019 by Darin Gibby

Despite having been to Pear Lake twice, I’d never made the journey to the Hutcheson Lakes. This was likely because Pear Lake is seven miles from the Finch Lake trail head, and then the Hutcheson Lakes are three more miles from there.  Plus, there isn’t a trail. Since I needed to long training day for…

Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park

August 10, 2019 by Darin Gibby

Every year I take several long day trips to various lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park.  While I’ve backpacked in the past, I’m not a big fan of packing a ton of gear in eight to ten miles, then living off bad food.  Plus, getting a backcountry permit and bear containers are a real pain.…

Lawn Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park

June 27, 2017 by Darin Gibby

We decided to risk plowing through snowfields and see if we could make it to Lawn Lake.  Fortunately, nearly all the snow had melted and we made it there no problem.  Our goal was to make it to Crystal, but there was still quite a bit of snow.  We did find a few groups who…
