This day hiking adventure is for women ages 18 years and older and takes us to Ouzel Falls which is a stunning 40-foot waterfall in the backcountry of Rocky Mountain National Park. We'll start in the remote Wild Basin and travel through dense pine forest while following a mountain stream and passing multiple waterfalls up to our main destination Ouzel Falls. If you love glacier-fed mountain streams, waterfalls, wild flowers, and wild life, you'll love this hike.
Features: The destination is an incredible 40-foot waterfall named Ouzel (OOH-zel) Falls. Along the way, we'll walk through an enchanting pine and aspen forest while following a rushing mountain stream with multiple waterfalls and cascades. If you love water then you'll love this hike! Once we get to Ouzel Falls we'll enjoy hot drinks and chocolates, views, sound, and mist of this glorious waterfall. We'll return the same way we came. Level: This adventure requires ladies to be in moderately good physical condition as well as be able to walk uphill and downhill on rocky terrain. I can provide trekking poles for you to help with the rocky terrain. The first half of the hike is uphill to Ouzel Falls and then downhill upon return to the trailhead. Pace: I will keep a moderate pace (1.5-2 mph) and won't leave you behind. We'll stop along the way to let you catch your breath, have a snack/water, and take pictures. Booking: After booking, I'll provide meeting details, what to bring, and weather conditions. Please note, transportation is not provided.
Meet in the parking lot by veterand memorial next to the river. I'll be in my grey Mazda CX5 SUV. You'll then follow me in your vehicle to the trailhead which is about a 30 minute drive one way; this is where the tour begins and ends. Each participant will be required to sign a risks form.
