Rocky Mountain National Park Estes Park, CO - July 13, 2013 I am way behind in recording my alpine journals this year. This one is more than a month too late. Anyway, I don't want to pass anyone of them. As so many hikings keep coming up, missing one would be loosing it forever from the memory.
The trail drops to Glacier Junction and bears left to Mills Lake (2.1 miles : 9,804'). The trail turns south, crossing Glacier Creek twice and sections of cairn-marked rock slabs to Mills Lake (2.65 miles : 9,955'). Here you'll enjoy terrific views of Glacier Gorge: The Arrowhead (12,387'), Powell Peak (13,208) and McHenrys Peak (13,327') form the west wall, while Pagoda Mountain (13,497') and Keyboard of the Winds - a line of pinnacles near the summit of Longs Peak - rise to the east. Chiefs Head Peak (13,579') and The Spearhead (12,575') cap the upper valley. The trail - now intermittently rugged, undulating and heavily rooted - follows the lake's east shore to its marshy juxtaposition with Jewel Lake (3.1 miles : 9,967'). The trail continues past Jewel Lake on more rugged terrain to the Glacier Gorge Backcountry Campsite (3.35 miles : 10,068'), Ribbon Falls (4.7 miles : 10,540'), and Black Lake (4.8 miles : 10,630'). 1: N40 18.621 W105 38.419 — Glacier Gorge Trailhead The lake is named after Enos Mills, the man commonly referred to as the "father of Rocky Mountain National Park". His most significant contribution, however, was spending numerous years lecturing across the nation, lobbying Congress, and writing thousands of letters and articles that would eventually lead to the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park on January 26, 1915.

다리도 튼튼하고, 심장도 튼튼해야 할 것 같습니다.
