Elk Ridge

Hiking out of Rocky Mountain National Park and in the National Forest in the foothills instead. We ventured up an old trail, probably used by the families that lived at Homestead Ranch. The trail takes off from the other side of Lion Gulch and winds up to the top of Elk Ridge, where an old road used to run. The views back to Longs and the backside of Twin Sisters were beautiful.
Our group at the top: Brynn, Sue, Tom, Sarah, Carl, Ken, Maggie, and Dot (and muneca)
Pleated gentians were blooming in the open meadows
