Read about this run to a waterfall in a local Sierra Club book. Was worried as the trailhead was at a dead end county road just past a rural community. I had visions of sketchy homes and wandering wild dogs. Thought that was a terrible generalization so drove out - my generalization was actually kind. But the trail was awesome

Estes Park

Went up to Estes Park for "The Running of the Bulls" 3.75-miler and saw these two bull moose on the drive up. I wish I had a real camera

Glorieta Ghost Town

Up the way from modern Glorieta lies the site of a ruined town that flourished alongside the railroad. In the 1860s, Glorieta sprouted a hotel, two saloons, and four sawmills that employed 250 men, and it became a sportsmen’s headquarters for trips to the north Pecos River basin. Survey the town’s heaped remnants on this 6.4-mile round-trip. From the trail head, you’ll pass the turnoff for the Glorieta Baldy and Broken Arrow Trails before the path narrows and winds back and forth over a small creek. Watch for an old rusting auto and decrepit equipment from a silver mine before emerging into the last in a series of meadows at mile 3.2. Head right to explore the ruins of the Glorieta House, a two-story wooden hotel built in 1883 that finally collapsed on itself 75 years later
