"Dozens of great trails"

My two favorites: Ouzel Falls Trail and the Loch Lake Trail. Both moderate difficulty, both 5-6 miles, and both with incredible lake/waterfall scenery. My wife said the birding was great too, but I was really into the hiking. Weather can get crazy in the blink of an eye, which is part of the appeal for me!

"Rocky Trails Have Never Been So Fun"

Wildlife Viewing
Walking/Hiking
Some of the best trails are a bit out of the way, and the crowds die down. It's just you and nature--and trails that can get a bit rocky. The climb to the top is always worth the view, and sometimes you have to wait for deer crossing.

"The most peaceful I've ever felt"

Walking/Hiking
The Rocky Mountains are absolutely perfect for taking some time to be on one's own and take in a beautiful view. Looking down on the valley from the mountains is definitely best done here.
