I took the twins on a second hike with the Scouts this summer.
We tackled the Gem Lake Trail outside of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Charlie wasn't especially impressed with our early morning adventure.
Eventually, he came around.
The hike felt like it was at a high elevation and included a steady climb. I would guess it was a "moderate" rating of difficulty. My guess is the youngest in our group was about 7.
After all that hard work, I will admit that Gem Lake was a little underwhelming. But, the kids had fun scrambling over the rocks.
The chipmunks were very friendly & ready to grab any snack crumb that was dropped.
On the way down, we enjoyed so many beautiful views.
We packed lunch & had a picnic near the parking area before heading home.
Not a bad way to start the day.
