What travelers are saying
- Cancer GeminiToronto, Canada3 contributionsOne of the most fun drive, but be aware it is very high so oxygen will be in short supply.
The sad thing is you cannot see everything when driving, let your family enjoy the beauty please.Written October 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Now that the park has reservation times we didn't have a problem finding a parking space, but we were there on a weekday.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Imyourtallcool1918 contributionsThe hike around Sprague Lake is beautiful and easy. We were there on a weekday and were able to find parking near the entrance. It was afternoon in August and the temperature was perfect and the reflections on the lake were gorgeous. I definitely recommend this hike for the whole family. There is a nice picnic area and restrooms at the entrance of the lake trail.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard NStroud, UK468 contributionsThe trail from Bear Lake does go up hill from the off but it's never over taxing in its steepness. We went in late June and there was plenty of snow around particularly above Dream Lake and that was the toughest bit.
There were a few people about who seemed to be getting agitated about how far it was. The walk took over an hour in total but boy, it's worth it. Allow time and have a positive mindset!Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice views at the top, but if you're looking for waterfalls or something you would have to go elsewhere.Definitely takes adjustment to the altitude, however the scenic ride up and down is nice (can even come across a lot of varied wildlife). The parking lot was very crowded, as was the line to the bathrooms, but that's to be expected overall. All park staff I encountered were pleasant and helpful!Written November 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, VA4,651 contributionsWe love driving and visiting Lily Lake for about two hours. This is a nice stop along the ride to the Peak to Peak scenic highway and is well worth the visit. The lake is so serene and will just captivate you in. Please put this on your list when you visit RMNP.Written July 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Great Trail, super easy, beautiful scenery
Great picture spot
Would definitely go back and spend more timeWritten August 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, there were a few individuals like us who walked the road. It was an enjoyable experience. We had gear so when the road ran into snow higher up, we were still able to keep going. Due to being less traveled at this time we ran into many animals (yellow bellied marmot, elk, birds, and a snow shoe rabbit).Written August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RetiredTravelerTNNashville, TN4,014 contributionsAlberta Falls may be accessed from either the Bear Lake trail area or the Glacier Gorge trailhead. We found no parking available at Glacier Gorge Junction, so we decided to drive on up to the Bear Lake parking lot where we lucked into a parking space that had just been vacated. (Otherwise, we would have backtracked to the overflow parking lot and taken the shuttle.) Visiting this area certainly requires planning and patience.
Planning and patience paid off with a very enjoyable trail to a beautiful waterfall. Beautiful Alberta Falls is definitely one of our favorites at RMNP.Written July 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I made the scramble up the waterfall with a 2 year old in my hiking backpack. It wasn't exactly easy, but absolutely doable. Sky Pond was just like a dream. At one point, my son and I were the only ones there (my wife waited at the waterfall). The whole hike is pretty, and you pass some great lakes where you can stop to take in the views or have a snack but Sky Pond is the real treasure and I highly recommend keeping on until you make it there! Just over 9 miles rt.Written April 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cara G1 contributionDefinitely worth the extra hike up. The hike around the mountain opens to amazing views. The beautiful, boulder filled lake at the end was a great reward and it was less crowded than the lower lakes. It was a great place to rest, snack and enjoy the scenery.Written November 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- angeleyes27Brigantine, NJ5,397 contributionsThis trail is one way with a parking lot at either side. It is fairly short and level so even handicapped people can enjoy it. Parking can be difficult although the lot is a good size. A flood had happened here and 3 campers died.Written February 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
