The Best Walks

Copeland Falls Trail: There's a lot of wonderful scenery packed into this easy walk (only .6 miles round-trip), which follows a creek past wildflowers, aspens, stands of large fir and spruce, and Rocky Mountain maples to a picturesque little waterfall.

Coyote Valley Nature Trail: Following the Colorado River through the Kawuneeche Valley, this 1-mile loop trail offers excellent opportunities to see wildlife and to explore a lodgepole pine forest.

Sprague Lake Nature Trail: Not only does this easy .5-mile loop trail provide great views of glaciers and several of the park's most scenic mountains, but when the water is calm and the light is right, you get a double view -- the dramatic skyline is reflected in the lake.
