Choice of several day hikes in the early part of the day. Hikers can all end up in the town of Grand Lake for lunch. We will need to coordinate car shuttles so that we don't loose any cars or have hikers without rides back to camp!
Perseid Meteorite Shower and Big Sky Observation. Bring a late evening picnic dinner and drive to a spot on the Trail Ridge Road where high altitude and isolation from lights provide the perfect setting for watching the annual meteor shower that peaks on August 12th. |

We have reserved a group camp site (max 12 people) at Thunder Lake in the upper part of the Wild Basin area in the southeast corner of Rocky Mountain National Park. See map. We will hike in to our backcountry campsite on Tuesday and stay for two nights, hiking back out on Thursday. The hike will be just under seven miles each way with an altitude gain of about 2000 feet. We can fish in Thunder Lake and if we're really feeling adventurous, we may climb up to The Lake of Many Winds, Boulder Grand Pass and perhaps Tanima Peak which are along the continental divide about a mile to the west and about 1500 feet up. Here is a 1:25000 scale map of that area. Do the names of these places tell you something about the weather? |
