Story:
Visited Rocky Mountain National Park. (3rd time this month) Hiked around Bear Lake (easy) and then hiked to Alberta Falls (Not so Easy). The 10 mile road leading to the lake is awe inspiring.The Aspen trees were just starting to show fall color with Glaciers high above upon the 14,000 Ft. Mountain Tops. Hiked up beside the waterfall for several hundred feet, and it was a dozen or so different falls as I went up. We saw 3 different herd of Elk during the day, (Got to within 30 feet) and a very aggressive pan handling Chipmunk that was running up to people on the trail wanting food :). If you visit Rocky Mountain National Park don't leave out Bear Lake Road on the east side because it is Beautiful.

Tips:
We barely got a parking spot at Bear Lake, You can take a free bus shuttle from the start of the road to the Trailhead.
