Get lost in the solitude of the former ski area in Rocky Mountain National Park (via thknwco)
As time marches on, fewer people remember the ski resort that used to be in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Located between Lower and Upper Hidden Valley along Trail Ridge Road, the resort had a ski lodge, ski school, a 500-car parking lot, ski lifts and rope tows. There was also a small ice-skating pond near the parking lot. Although many of these trails are finally starting to see some regrowth of native vegetation 31 years after the resort closed, they do still provide paths through the forest for today’s backcountry skiers and snowshoers.
Navigate around the west side of the warming hut and then follow the gulley straight up through the forest.
