2. Ouzel Falls
The Ouzel Falls hike is great for a half-day outing, especially if you like waterfalls. The trail here has several of them. Shortly after leaving the Wild Basin trailhead, you take a 0.3-mile round-trip detour to visit both Lower and Upper Copeland Falls. (You can also see these falls on your way back down if you wish.)
Along the way on your 5.4-mile round-trip, you’ll also discover the 200-foot-high Calypso Cascades, that thunders down the mountainside, to flow under two bridges. Picturesque Ouzel Falls is less than three miles from there. This hike is especially popular during the summer months, so if you want to make the trek then, you’d best head out early.
3. Chapin, Chiquita, Ypsilon
This trifecta hike is 8.9 miles round-trip. You’ll cover three peaks on this hike. It begins at Chapin Creek and includes excellent views. When the weather is clear, you’ll see both the Desolation Peaks and the Longs Peak to the north and east, Estes Park to the east, and even the Never Summer range and massive Medicine Bow peaks in Wyoming to the west. Hit the trail early so that you’re hiking down before any potential afternoon thunderstorms. The total elevation here is 13,514 feet with a gain in elevation of 3,244 feet.
