If you have been to Colorado during the summer, how have you liked it, an do you have any suggestions?
We are planning on going camping in several parks in Colorado, such as Sand Dunes National Park, Mesa Verde, Arches National Park (in Utah), and Rocky Mountain National park. I’d love any experiences or suggestions for those who have been there. Thanks!
I live in Colorado and have done a lot of hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. If you’ll be camping there, you should definitely get out onto the trails and do some hiking, otherwise you’ll be missing out on some really nice scenery. Many of the trails go to waterfalls and lakes, and they are all worth the hike. Alberta Falls is a nice one which is easy to get to and the hike is only a little over a half mile. Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls are also considered very nice and they’re both on the same trail. Of the lake hikes in the park, Cub Lake is a good one, and so is Mills Lake. Dream Lake is another one and is very popular. And yet another one I like is Loch Vale. As you see, there are plenty of trails in the park 
. Anyway, if you want to see descriptions of these hikes, (along with pictures), try this website:
