Libby Flats Observation Point is a National Forest overlook off the side of the Snowy Range Scenic Byway. There is a short dirt trail that leads to the overlook area, which offers awesome views of Medicine Bow Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park.

This surprisingly green trail winds past some fantastical rock formations and a few other interesting sights, including a beaver pond. The centerpiece of your run is Reynolds Hill, but the maintained trail never actually goes up the hill.

This popular trail isn't a hard run as such, but it is made more challenging than it seems at first due to the presence of lots of rocks and roots and even the occasional fallen tree in the trail, and lots of other trail users including walkers and mountain bikers. The centerpiece of the loop is an iconic outcropping of Sherman Granite that does look a bit like a turtle when viewed from the right angle.

Just below the 12,013-foot Medicine Bow Peak, Lookout Lake is a beautiful mountain lake. The trail to the lake is really popular, but the lake is big enough to offer some solitude even when crowds are present. There are a number of other alpine lakes in the area if you are wanted to extend your hike a bit.

At 10,275 feet (3,132 m), Laramie Peak is the highest mountain in the Laramie Range. There's a surprising amount of detritus at the peak, including antennae, wires, buildings and even what looks like a discarded telephone pole, but if you're lucky enough to have clear skies the views in every direction are incredible. As you might imagine, the run to get here is no joke. Keep an eye on the sky — weather can change rapidly at this elevation — and be ready to dodge some rocks underfoot as you grind out the miles.
