Mount Olympus stands over the Big Thompson Canyon at 8,595 feet just outside of Estes Park. From the treeless summit you get some of the best, if not the best, views overlooking the town and some of the most famous peaks Colorado in Rocky Mountain National Park including the Diamond on Long's Peak and Mount Meeker; it truly is an amazing view. In large part due to the proximity of Estes and RMNP, Mount Olympus is somewhat overlooked. It is a great option, however, if you want a shorter hike at a lower elevation, want to escape the massive crowds often found at RMNP in the summertime, and get some great views. You can also hike with your dog here, which is not allowed in the National Park.
