To be honest, it's a bit disappointing that they haven't managed to install a decent summit cross or other special marker on Colorado's highest mountain. Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico are much better at that on their highest mountains.

Alberta Falls is a popular, scenic waterfall in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. It is a 30-foot (9-meter) cascade of Glacier Creek, surrounded by boulders and aspen forests. A very popular and relatively easy hike from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead, it is approximately 1.6 miles (2.6 km) round trip with little elevation gain (approximately 49 meters). Due to its easy accessibility and beauty, it is a popular destination for families and hikers.

It is located at the end of the scenic Bear Lake Road, one of the most popular areas of Rocky Mountain National Park. It lies at an elevation of approximately 2,880 meters (9,450 feet), surrounded by forest, offering impressive views of the majestic peaks of Hallett Peak. A very easy, paved Nature Trail (loop) leads around the lake in just about 0.6 miles (about 1 km).

Box Canyon Falls is where Canyon Creek cascades 85 feet into a narrow quartzite canyon surrounded by 100-foot walls. This developed park offers hiking trails, picnic areas, and a visitor center, which operates seasonally, closing in November. The park is also a significant bird area, recognized by the National Audubon Society for hosting Black Swifts, the largest swifts in North America, which migrate from Brazil each summer. Keep in mind that dogs are not allowed in the park.

Very touristy, but beautiful.

Note: Reservations are required in some seasons. Easy hike around the lake.
