Lake Nanita in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was the final goal of a very long day hike other than getting back to the trailhead and a frosty paralyzer at the Grand Lake Lodge. July 2000.

Lake Nokoni in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was the first goal of a very long day hike in Rocky. July 2000.

Very scenic waterfall seen along the North Inlet Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. I believe this is Cascade Falls, but I'm not certain. July 2000.

Just some of the dramatic scenery that can be seen along the North Inlet Trail on the 11 mile hike from Grand Lake to Lake Nanita. At over 20 miles for the round trip, it makes for one long day hike. At least the elevation change is nice and gradual. Rocky Mountain National Park. July 2000.
