The steepest pitch reaches 24 percent, against an average of 383 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the moderate band. The nearest town is Estes Park, 9.6 km away.

The topographic art for Fern Lake Trail follows the same 95-point track that produced the profile above, from 8,151 feet up to 9,466 feet. The high point comes at the far end of the route. Each size on this page is rendered natively rather than upscaled.

The trail

The Fern Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, runs 4.8 miles (7.7 km) from Moraine Park in the eastern part of the park westward to Fern Lake, the first portion of the trail following the course of the Big Thompson River. The trail was first informally established in the late 1880s as a way to get to "The Pool," a wide spot in the Big Thompson where a small lodge predated the 1915 establishment of the park.
