Ouzel Falls & Ouzel Lake Hike
Details
I haven't hiked in RMNP this year so let's do the Ouzel Lake trail. We'll hike a moderate/brisk pace.
This is an absolutely gorgeous hike that takes you all the way to Ouzel Lake. The pine forest is beautiful and cool even in warm weather, and the water at the lake is clear and shallow. You'll also get the bonus of short side trips to Lower and Upper Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls, which can be really exciting to look at after periods of heavy rain.
