A couple people have emailed me recently, asking for suggestions on some great day hikes, or asked me what my favorite trails are in Rocky Mountain National Park. Based on many hikes over the years, I’ve compiled a list of my top 10 hikes in the Rockies. They are as follows:

1) Hallett Peak
2) Sky Pond
3) Old Ute Trail
4) Emerald Lake
5) Chasm Lake
6) Bluebird Lake
7) Key Hole on Longs Peak
8) Black Lake
9) Twin Sisters Peak
10) Odessa Lake

You should also consider the hike up to Mount Ida Trail. Other hikes completed, for comparison purposes, include: Ypsilon Lake, Deer Mountain, Big Meadows, Lake Haiyaha, Fern Lake, Tundra Trail, Cub Lake and Poudre River Trail, among others.

Check out this collection of photos from SummitPost. If you've never been to the "SP" website, you're definitely missing out. In addition to finding important information and details on hikes or climbing mountains around the world, the website has some outstanding personal adventure stories and some excellent photographs, all user submitted.

Someone put together a "best of" collection of photos. On this collection of 17 photos you'll find several beautiful mountain panoramics and climbing photos. The most interesting photo, however, is the one of the disappearing rabbit. It may not be apparent as to what happened at first, but there's an explanaton at the bottom. Extremely cool shot.

Enjoy! Click here to see the pix.
