East Edge
Trails closest to the town of Estes Park on the east edge of Rocky Mountain National Park are very worthwhile and popular. Three enjoyable trails near Mile Marker 6 south of Estes Park along CO 7—Twin Sisters Peaks, Storm Pass, and Homer Rouse—radiate from Lily Lake. A wheelchair-accessible trail completed in 1997 with privately donated funds circles Lily Lake. The increasingly popular Lily Mountain Trail begins along not-so-wide shoulders of CO 7 in Roosevelt National Forest 0.4 mile downhill from Lily Lake, somewhat ominously at the site of an emergency telephone.
