I am really behind on my trip reports and even more behind on getting out into the park. I am embarrassed to say how long it’s been since I hiked. That should tell you a lot right there because now snowshoes are required for most of RMNP. Well, here are some photos of a hike last fall in the Lumpy Ridge. I have a couple more to post today from last week.

Lumpy Ridge trailhead

For a great hike deep into the Lumpy Ridge try the Lumpy Loop Hike starting at the Twin Owls trailhead off of Devils Gulch Road. It is an 11 mile loop connecting several trails and at the end taking you by Gem Lake and back down to the TH. There is elevation gain to work those legs and a lot of runnable trail if you like to trail run. The views are spectacular as you descend from Gem Lake, well at the start too.

Longs Peak and Divide Views

Unique Rock Formations

This odd rock formation greets you right at the start.  We call it the Man Riding Dolphin.  I would love to hear what it looks like to you.  The day my husband and I went there was some snow through the trees on the Northern slopes of the Lumpy Ridge but mostly it was clear.

Snowy Trails

It is kind of a long hike and is perfect if you want some solitude.  I hardly ever see more than a handful of people on the trail (aside from Gem Lake-sometimes its busy).  See you on the trails.
