Trip Report: Ouzel Lake Winter Backpacking Rocky Mountain National Park

Just before Thanksgiving I snuck out for a short trip up to Ouzel Lake in RMNP. The plan was Bluebird lake, but the winter gate was closed and you have to walk on that road.

The trail was snowy with a bit of ice, but the sun was shining.

The clouds and snow started to come in.

The lake was pretty frozen.

Awesome spot to camp.

Spacious accommodations.

The sky was absolutely amazing.

Then the hike out the next day was clear and sunny.

An amazing overnight.
