Family Adventure Vacation in Colorado Rockies

[Lady&theTramper]

As AMC leaders in the Boston Chapter and for Major Excursions, we are leading a family trip (with our 3 year old Mckinlee) for people and families of all ages to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Colorado August 7-14, 2010. We've put together a great itinerary and list of possible hikes but would be interested to know if anyone out there has any favorites or especially great hikes they'd like to recommend.

Thanks!
Heather & Steve & Mckinlee

P.S. We've still got some room left on the trip so if anyone is interested it's listed here: http://snebulos.mit.edu/majorexcursions/trips/1022.pdf

It's been decades since we've been there, but two hikes come to mind in that area that might fit your criteria, though they may stretch the ascent requirement a tad: Loch Vale and Lake Helene.

Have you seen this book? http://www.google.com/products/cata...n&show=dd&cid=17505170636137588134&sa=title#p

I own it and it is excellent. It's 5 or 6 years old now, so a few of the hikes may need to be updated, but it should provide you with a ton more great options.
