Quick hike with nice rocky perches overlooking the park, and Estes and stretch the legs/lungs. Bit rainy. Longs looming to the south, which is why I was there.

Deer Mountain Trail
Nice short hike with great views from the summit. This is my first ranked peak in RMNP.

afternoon hike
Quick afternoon hike after spending the morning on Otis, Hallett and Flattop. Nice view from the summit, but the trip up not so interesting.
Took my 6 year old and my 8 year old up this peak for their first real mountain summit under their own power. It was right about at the edge of their stamina and i think they had fun despite much whining. Perfect weather day. I've hiked all over RMNP and after finally doing Deer Mountain, I say it's worth it!

Deer MountainAfter work I climbed Deer Mountain. It was a nice late afternoon/evening hike and the views were great. It was a little windy, but still pleasant.

Excellent viewsA bit longer of a hike than anticipated since we were new to this, but very much worth it for amazing views!

Ideal to acclimatizeFor a flatlander such as myself, this was a perfect acclimatizing hike for Mt Yale 2 days later.
