Gorge Lakes Hiking Adventure
Adventure Overview
On our nine to fourteen hour Gorge Lake Hiking Adventure, we’ll take you to some of the most remote landscapes in the wild heart of Rocky Mountain National Park. This isolated terrain is home to vast trail-less landscapes, sweeping alpine tundra and large alpine lakes. Our journey to this area of the park will include four miles of trail hiking and roughly eleven miles of responsible off-trail trekking across resilient alpine and subalpine habitat.
We’ll get to know the park like few ever do, looking for herds of elk and moose along the way. Once we arrive at the main overlook to the Gorge Lakes area, we’ll take in some of the most breathtaking sights in the park!
